We did

We will redesign the junctions at Penshurst Gardens and Hale Lane to make them safer for cyclists and pedestrians. We will also add signs to highlight cyclist priority where needed.

We will investigate the removal or redesign of barriers along the Penshurst Gardens path to improve accessibility for all users.

Cycle parking facilities will be added or enhanced near Edgware Station to encourage sustainable travel.

Parking at Edgware Station will be reviewed as part of the next phase of the design.
