Roundwood Park Healthy Neighbourhood

Brent Council is developing network of Healthy Neighbourhoods across the borough as part of their work to reduce the negative impact of traffic and air pollution.  They are part of the wider strategy to improve the health of our communities. 

The Healthy Neighbourhood schemes propose to limit vehicle access in a number of residential roads and limit the growing problem of 'rat running' enabled by satellite navigation systems. They encourage residents to adopt healthier, more active forms of transport and enable you to enjoy a quieter, safer community life.

The Healthy Neighbourhood schemes mean when you choose to walk or cycle you will find it easier and safer, with a greater number of routes less affected by traffic.

As part of the programme, we invited national charity, Living Streets, to lead on a period of community engagement from July to September 2021, allowing residents living in the Healthy Neighbourhood areas to express their views about how they might be affected and to help shape the scheme.

There was an excellent response to the community engagement exercise.

Have your say

From August until the end of September 2021, Living Streets will be out and about talking to residents about their Healthy Neighbourhoods, finding out about the traffic issues they wish to address and what features their Healthy Neighbourhood should have.

N02 concentrations 

*Please note that these baseline figures are taken from the London Atmospheric Emissions Inventory 2016 which provides modelled annual mean concentrations for NO2 at a 20m grid resolution. 2016 is the most recent year for which this data is available for. If a location is situated between two points, an average has been taken. Data available online.

**Measured baseline, annual mean for 2019
