Barn Hill - Forty Lane - Kings Drive

Reported via desktop in the Street furniture damaged / missing category anonymously at 18:44, Sat 9 December 2023

Sent to Brent Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5300718.

Hi I would like to report a safety issue along Forty Lane, from the cross road with Barn Hill to the cross road with Kings Drive. There are many children, sometime very young, very crouded, walking along forty lane and crossing Barn Hill, every morning and evening. Cars are driving quite aggressively and there is no protection on the sidewalk, quite narrow, and with spreading vegetation. This is very scary. The most scary area is the crossing of Barn Hill with cars coming from Bridge road, accelerating to go up the hill while young children are crossing Barn Hill road. I feel very unsafe when I walk here every morning and evening with my three young children. I genuinly worry that there will be a dramatic accident one day here, involving children. May I kindly suggest the council investigate the relevance of putting protection on the sidewalk all along on Forty Lane between Barn Hill and Kings Drive and decide to make Barn Hill only one way drive (go south from the hill)? There is another road (Barne Rise) just near to let cars go up the hill. Thank you for your consideration to my request. Thank you very much for your services. regards
