Since the North End Road was re-connected to Bridge Road at Wembley Park in June 2021 LINK concerns have been raised about the danger to pedestrians and cyclists at the road crossing as no lights were installed. Traffic came in 3 directions and visibility of the junction from further down North End Road is poor.
In August 2021 I sent Brent Council a video of the danger, particularly for families with children walking from Chalkhill or the Bridge Road bus stop to the Civic Centre, Wembley Library or the LDO. Crossing North End Road was made more difficult by terrorist prevention concrete slabs that were eventually replaced by bollards.
At the time Brent Council said they were liaising with Tranport for London over installing signalling at the junction. Four years later, as you can see from the images above, it looks as if we are almost there.
Unfortunately, on the issue of allowing the 206 bus to re-route via North End Road on Event Days, raised at the same time with the same answer about liaising with TfL , no progress has been made.
At present the 206 is curtailed at Brent Park on event days and Wembley is not served.

The 206 can't go up North End Road until bridge strengthening works over the Wealdsden Brook are completed.
Thanks. Are they in progress?
Don't think so but that was the main reason given by TfL after the consultation in 2023/24.
long overdue and they need to move the concrete barriers from in front of the protected footpath crossings.
