There have long been complaints about the state of Kilburn High Road, one of London's main arteries and shopping streets, and the failure of the responsible local councils to cooperate on the many issues involved,
Now Camden Council, Brent Council and the City of Westminster have launched a joint consultation on improvement plans. They say:
Kilburn is a busy place with shops, restaurants, local services and lots of public transport links. Camden, Brent and Westminster Councils want to improve road safety and air quality along the High Road, maintain bus journey times and make it easier to catch public transport.
We also want to upgrade how the high street looks and feels.
This is your chance to share your ideas on our proposals and help shape the future of Kilburn. Your views matter to us on this scheme because we want you to enjoy being in Kilburn, to have a safer and more pleasant place for everyone to walk, shop and visit, to breathe cleaner air and for businesses to flourish.
The first consultation event will be at the Kilburn Grange Park Festival today:

Cunsultation means tick box and then ignore residents' views.
Why do Kilburn residents only find out about a consultation over Kilburn through a Wembley matters blog? Is Brent incapable of circulating this? And which Kilburn Library? There are two [yes, I do know the answer, but it would be so nice if in the spirit of cross-borough co-operation, they could say which they mean]
Before engaging Brent Council for advice, the other boroughs should look at what they have done with Wembley High Road and ask whether their contribution is relevant.
Early 2000's there was a Kilburn Town Centre Manager, a Brent/ Camden project.
But c21 Brent administration so far chooses to invest in Queens Park as the town centre, Kilburn Job Centre is moved there for one example. While Camden treats KH as a no mans land/ frontline, ditto Westminster's approach to shared Chippenham Gardens Local Centre.
Maybe Westminster will finally help pull Kilburn investment south to where its massive population growth is being 45 ha zone forced?
Brent definitely needs to rapid connect its entire southern and eastern boundaries communities seamlessly into Inner London's wealth - from the Harlesden to the Cricklewood.
