Just read no-one will be allowed to sit on Olympic Steps!!! or gather around the stadium if you haven't got a ticket to listen to Taylor for free??? it was an article in Daily Mail if you can believe anything you read in this rag,

Evening Standard says "ticketless supporters will be unable to congregate outside the stadium, thwarting an often common practice among the singer’s fans known as “tay-gating”."

Yes they are doing more regarding security after Vienna and of course another stabbing of a young girl in Leicester Square recently. There were quite a few Swifties around Olympic Way today at 10,30am and lots of merchandising stalls and a couple selling from back of van.

Traffic here today has been horrendous - cars speeding around our local residential roads - if they are going to have these major events at least keep the main roads clear!!!

Isn't there an ABBA song about this?

Comment received by email: So last night (Friday) we witnessed 10+ vehicles parked on Wembley High Road between Elizabeth House and Ark Elvin Academy in the BUS LANE, some even facing the wrong way. All appeared to be Private Hire waiting for their customers who had pre-booked, 2 vehicles 1 x RR Bentley and a Mercedes Viano were parked in the driveway of Wembley Place preventing access for a disabled gentlemen. When asked to move they just said we're not moving till our clients come they stayed approx 25 mins.

Parking enforcement showed up around 10.15 and I witnessed him ticketing a DPD Van who was parked on the half on the pavement but not in vehicle. I challenged him as to why he had not asked the people in the driveway to move, he told me it's private property and he has no remit to remove people from private property, I asked why he was not moving all the people in the bus lane he told me they are sitting in the car waiting for people. Doh!

They remained there for the best part of an hour after the concert during which time no 18 Bus went past at all.

It would appear that Parking Enforcement company NSL employed by Brent Council are not up to the job, and the Police and TFL don't care about local residents.

What happened to the idea that Wembley Stadium was a public transport destination? No buses, long waits for trains, doesn't look like that's working out.

Public transport destination - what a distant dream :(

Sadly for a group of people its probably cheaper to book a limo than pay our extortionate train fares and who knows whether strikes will occur???

Plus thousands of locals are making many thousands of pounds from park on my drive schemes encouraging people to drive.

You should have got other cars to block in those cars parked on the private driveway or next time put wheelie bins or other obstacles out to stop them parking there.

Brent Council don't care about us Council tax paying local residents either !!!
