New Pedestrian Crossing at Blomfield Road

We are delighted to report that the pedestrian phase at the lights across Blomfield Road at it’s junction with Edgware Road are now fully operational.

We are delighted to report that the pedestrian phase at the lights across Blomfield Road at it’s junction with Edgware Road are now fully operational.

This has long been a dangerous junction for pedestrians and despite TFL being responsible for the lights and the junction, they had refused to provide the funds to make crossing the road safe for pedestrians. Your Conservative Little Venice councillors obtained the funding for this project to be done. We are pleased that although cars have to wait a few extra seconds, pedestrians can now wait for the green man signal and reach the other side in safety.
