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
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!!!
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

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.
