During January and February 2022 we consulted on changes proposed for Kilbrun High Road.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their views. We had over 200 responses and following the consultation, we have made the decision to implement the proposed changes as a trial.
The new scheme on Kilbrun High Road will now be implemented as a trial from 31/1/22 and a letter (PDF) has gone to all local residents and businesses. You can read the decision reports relating to this, and our feedback to the consultation responses in the decision report.
Together, London Borough of Camden, London Borough of Brent and City of Westminster are proposing changes to the ‘lower’ end of Kilburn High Road. It is just the first phase in a much bigger project to transform the whole of Kilburn High Road over the next two years, to make it a safer and more welcoming town centre.
Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, we circulated new plans for Kilburn High Road through community groups and statutory bodies. Now we want to consult more widely, with local residents and businesses on this initial phase, covering the section of Kilburn High Road from West End Lane to Greville Place.
The proposed changes include:

After the consultation, we will carefully consider the responses, alongside other information, in deciding on whether or not to progress the scheme. Should a decision be made to proceed, we would implement the scheme on a “trial” basis, for a maximum 18-month period, under an Experimental Traffic Order (ETO). A further consultation would take place 12 months after the ETO period starts to help inform whether or not to make the changes permanent.
The Covid-19 pandemic has changed how people live, travel and work. Since the start of the pandemic many of us have been spending more time closer to home, making our neighbourhoods more important than ever.
Both now and beyond the pandemic we want:
Although at the moment public transport capacity is lower than normal, we know that in general 69% of households locally do not own a car. So safe and easy walking, cycling and scooting routes as well as smooth, reliable and efficient bus routes are more important than ever.
As the consultation is now closed. Your views, and those of everyone who contributes to this consultation, will be analysed and considered, alongside relevant data available on the scheme and in light of how the scheme aligns with our current policy objectives, in order to put forward recommendations on whether to proceed with the proposals. A summary of this analysis will be provided in the decision report, and will be made available on the Camden Council website in due course.
