North End Road closed from September 16th for 3 days and South Way for a longer period from September 27th

 From Brent Council website LINK

·      North End Road will be closed to traffic from 09:30 on 16 September to remove the temporary Hostile Vehicle Measures (HVM) (Concrete Blocks) and to install the permanent HVM on the footway. It will take up to three days to complete the works and there will be a signed diversion route will be in place for the duration of the  works

·       South Way will be closed at the junction of Wembley Hill Road from Monday 27 September to allow for gas, water and electric connections to be made for the new development on South Way at the junction with Wembley Hill Road. A signed diversion will be in place and we expect the road to reopen to traffic before the 10 October

 

Editor's Note: These are concrete blocks that presently impede pedestrians crossing North End Road and particularly affect wheelchair users and parents with buggies. It remains to be seen whether the replacements improve access.  Traffic lights are still awaited.

 

 

 

 

 

Avoid Wembley during November! Deep excavation works will close High Road east bound and have severe impact on wider area

Hot on the heels of my story about concrete blocking the main sewer in Wembley High Road LINK  comes a warning about major works resulting from the blockage circulated by Rubie Charalambous, Wembley and Ealing Road Town Centre Manager.

URGENT WORKS -High Road, Wembley - Blocked Sewer - Eastbound Road Closure 2/11/17 to 30/11/17

The Sewer on High Road, Wembley is blocked near the junction of Ecclestone Place and unfortunately deep excavation works are required to rectify the problem. 

High Road, Wembley will be closed to eastbound traffic from the junction of Park Lane. Traffic will be diverted via Park Lane and Wembley Hill Road, a signed diversion will be in place for the duration of the works.

Westbound traffic will continue to use High Road, Wembley as normal.

The impact to the road network in the Wembley area is expected to be severe, especially in peak times. Where possible please avoid the area.

Unfortunately this period coincides with a number of events at Wembley Stadium although Spur's Real Madrid fixture at 90,000 capacity just squeezes in the day before the works start:
