Last week EFRA was informed by the Northfield Ward councillors that the site is to be cleaned-up following a walk-about by councillors, the Northfields safer neighbourhood team, and council envirocrime officials.

This morning, Mark, Phil and I, the three of us Northfield Councillors
went on another of our regular walkabouts with the Northfield Police,

Devonshire Road stop-and-shop parking bays

At the recent EFRA Annual General Meeting residents called for the reinstatement of the stop-and-shop parking bays at the junction of Devonshire Road and Northfield Avenue. There used to be parking bays in that area prior to the construction of the flats on the site of the former Esso garage. The re-introduction of the bays would help the fledging businesses in the new parade and also existing businesses along Northfield Avenue.

Ealing Council has produced a preliminary plan for replacing single yellow lines with five stop-and-shop parking bays. The plan is attached as a pdf document.
