    Need better Road Markings to safeguard pedestrians. Maybe a junction box. Traffic coming from the Harrow Road
    to Wembley Hill Road drive over and blocks the the pedestrian crossing even when there is a Green Man signal to cross. This is a busy crossing for school children

    By the time they complete the Copland and Ujima site opposite, travelling down the High Road will be like walking through a Wind Tunnel.

    Looks very claustrophobic for Ark Elvin School, hemmed in on all sides.

    Yes. I have heard the school is disappointed that the development will overwhelm their building.

      They knocked the Chalkhill blocks down. Now they are allowing far worse blocks to be built on what was a low rise neighbourhood. It wasn't that long ago the Wembley was one of the better laces to live around London. It is now becoming a very poor deprived area. Just because the flats are new and have modern kitchens and bathrooms, doesn't mean they will stay that way. give them 15 years and they will be for those that can't afford better, and many will have multiple occupancies, if they haven't already.

    Ark Elvin school moved backwards from the pervious Copland High School site landgrabbing parts of the playing fields behind them - if they hadn't moved backwards then they wouldn't face being blocked in by tower blocks!!!

      It's fine, we don't need green space and tree, it must be true or Butt wouldn't be allowing all this building.

    Yes it was part of a land deal with Brent Council - basically the land at the back for the land at the front. It always was the intention for housing/shops along the High Road. This is more than 10 years ago: https://wembleymatters.blogspot.com/2014/04/copland-land-deal-for-rebuild-and.html
