Overview

Kilburn is a busy place with shops, restaurants, local services and lots of public transport links. We want to make it easier to walk and cycle in and around the town centre, provide more space for people stop and sit, and create a more pleasant experience when visiting and shopping. We also want to improve road safety and local air quality, maintain bus journey times and make it easier to catch public transport.

Brent Council, Camden Council and City of Westminster are therefore working together to propose:

  • Widening pavements, adding new paving and lighting
  • Adding more seating and cycle parking
  • Planting new trees and installing pocket parks (small areas with seating and planting)
  • Adding more pedestrian crossings and continuous crossings over side roads (where the pavement material continues over side roads to promote pedestrian priority – you can see an example in our photo guide)
  • Longer bus stops and bus lane hours
  • New protected cycle crossings and cycle lanes
  • Improvements to junctions 
  • Traffic restrictions on some side roads
  • Changes to loading and parking on Kilburn High Road and side roads

 

Why your views matter

Your views matter to us because we want you to enjoy being in Kilburn, to have a safer and more pleasant place for everyone to walk, shop and visit for you to be able to sit and relax, to breathe cleaner air and for businesses to flourish.
