Bemused residents of Kings Drive, Wembley, have been watching the extremely slow progress of Brent Council's building of four estate 'fill-in' bungalows on the former garages and car park site on the Kings Drive estate. Glimpses of what is going on are quite rare as often there are no workers on site.
Older residents remember the prefabs that were on nearby Pilgrims Way and some compare the bungalows unfavourably with those designs. They also ask why no attempt was made to match the new build to the red brick of the buildings on either side of the site.

When I was a child when one of us had a new pair of shoes we would fight to keep the shoe box so that we could make a 'house', cutting away at the box to make windows and a front door.
The new bungalows bring back childhood memories...

ReplyDeletePlus, way too much hard landscaping for a Brent declared to be in Climate Emergency! That pave all lobby is all powerful, ditto restoration of Chippenham Gardens green space, NW6.
