It has been hard to ignore the troughs of collapsed cobbled road on Harlesden High Street but now action is being taken. Brent Council says it will take 22 weeks but perhaps that will enable Council PR to greet a slightly earlier finish as a great success:
The Council is planning to deliver much needed carriageway reconstruction works in High Street Harlesden, between Tavistock Road and the Harlesden Jubilee clock end of the road (the buses only section of the High Street) from 15 September 2025. The works are expected to last 22 weeks under a road closure, where buses will operate under a diversion route. Pedestrian access will be maintained as normal.Deliveries to local shops and businesses will be catered for from delivery areas outside the closure at the Tavistock Road end of the High Street. Brent will also have a site-based team to help with deliveries during the hours of 08:00 and 16:30.The map above shows the full area affected. If you have any issue, the Public Liaison Officer for this scheme is Michael Heffernan who can be contacted via email Michael.heffernan@gwhighways.co.uk or phone 01202 043259
As yet I can find no details of the bus diversion route.

I sincerely hope the residents of Harlesden are not subjected to the same chaos that occurred when they tried to reconstruct The Triangle (a tiny part) of Wembley High Road.
We can also be sure the comms team will be advising residents of this wonderful “upgrade” (not maintenance or renewal) and that this is much needed due to heavier vehicles causing damage and absolutely not due to the lack of maintenance of the highway or excessive development in Brent.
That said, any investment in Brent is a positive so this is a good thing overall - there is NO denying that.
If you read this comment, I hope you have a wonderful day ahead :)
One wonders which councillors will claim credit for the works?
