Up and down Wembley High Road as new developments get underway - video recording

 

 

 The High Road, Wembley has gone through many changes in the last decade or so with the most significant the Uncle twin towers on the site of the former Chesterfield House at the corner of the High Road and Park Lane.

Work has now started on either side of the High Road further towards Wembley Triangle. There is a major development on the former Copland School site, part of the Wembley Housing Zone (see LINK) and opposite it student accommodation is being built on the former Fairgate House and Ujima sites (see LINK).

 As well as the construction of these developments, in the new year, starting on January 6th 2025, a 16 week programme will start reconstructing part of the High Road.

For Starmer “too many people in Whitehall are comfortable in the tepid bath of managed decline” i.e. bunkered-up in de-populating conservation areas where his new policy milestones are long since already met, and are easy to sustain and grow.

Martin highlights many Brent massive population growth zones for which Starmer's new policy milestones are all too clearly extremely challenging to meet.

Hopefully a direct and to car-free towers scaled active traffic route connector major investment between Wembley Park and Wembley Town so that these towers can urban function well rather than grow congestion. Wembley Way 2, the FA may even agree to fund it?

and the Brent industry C21 denial.

This scale of development is more than enough now in terms of creating congestion as well as putting a strain upon local infrastructure and action must be taken for various social, environmental and public safety reasons before there is an even much greater level of tower block construction across the whole borough.

Towering has only just started/ ain't seen nothing yet and as said many times the 6 borough West Mega City is a ghost shrouded in unhelpful Local denials. Only Barnet accepts it as happening.

The towering of Brent is part of an unstoppable 'Global Britain' political consensus to new industry force UK growth, but it has no need to be bad growth catastrophic success for global market speculators only. Growth zone resident taxpayers can live as humans too with rights, health, community, wellbeing and security, if that's the design and that's what government demands.

Reform Party national rule in 4 years time would be a disaster for GZ's, it really would be tower only 'industry' zones on steroids.
