. BaJCOMMMMTlOM lj Point Closure; - gingshill Avenue, K> .-.--. . •- .

By -Recommendation 3 (8th December, 1572), your Sub-Committee proposedin principle that a point closure scheme in ICingshill Avenue should beintroduced to eliminate through traffic from a residential area, subjectto full consultation procedures and measures to increase the capacityof the Kenton Eane/Kenton Soad signals junction being achieved. The Controllerof Engineering reported upon the results of a. survey of "residents* viewsand upon a" petition, received from residents opposed to the proposal onthe. grounds of inconvenience. This evidence appeared to indicate that.resident's were equally divided on the merits of a point closure.

Your Sub-Commit tee considered the residents'''" suggested alternative schemes•* and concluded that these also contained disadvantages, but did1 not achieve

the elimination of through"' traffic.

Resolved; to BECOiiMEND;' . """ • • '-..-.-

That the Town. Planning Committee now formally approve the introduction of a- point closure in Kingshill Avenue, between that road1 s junctions with Alicia Avenue and Addiscombe Close, for an experimental period-of one year, subject to the improvement of the Kenton IJahe/Kenton-Eoad junction•capacity. • : '-.;.-

RECOiiMENDATION 2; Proposed Width Restriction; Elms Road, H.W.

By Resolution 82 the Subcommittee deferred consideration, for a report by the Controller of Engineering on a petition presented to its meeting on 20th .March, .1973, which requested the installation .of a width restriction:barrier in" Elms Eoad in order to prevent the use of this road by b;eavy goods vehicles. - - " "

The Controller of Engineering reported upon a survey of heavy goods vehicles using Elias Road. The recorded number of these was very low and the percentage of such vehicles, ia the total volume "of traffic was-low by comparison•with other '.residential roads, within- the Borough, which had, justified the- introduction of a width restriction.. .

TPT 72 Vol.2 : . TOWN PLANNING-. ;". -

Resolved to RECOMMEND; .That the Town planning Committee take no further action in respect of the request for the installation "of a width restriction in Elms Road and that-the petitioners be informed of this-decision.RECOMMENDATION 3; Point Closure; Albury Drive, P-.N. and H.E.The Controller of Engineering reported that in accordance with .Recommendation 4 and Resolution 67 (8th December, 1972), discussions had been held with Offleers.of the Greater London Council and Metropolitan Police to formulate a scheme to remove through traffic from the Pinner Hill Estate and for the ultimate .treatment of the Estate as an environmental area.The Controller of Engineering proposed that the short term elimination of through traffic could be achieved by a point . closure in Albury Drive, the cost of which could appropriately be met in the 1974/75 capital estimates. The Greater London Council would be asked to make the necessary Order on amenity grounds. . . . .Resolved to RECOMMEND; -••"'. That the Town Planning Committee:-(1) approve in principle a point closure in Albury Drive, east of its junction with Latimer Gardens, at an estimated cost of £400; and(2) authorise the .Controller of Engineering to consult all residents affected by the proposed point closure, including those in Pinner Hill Road. .RECOMMENDATION 4; Bus Stop Clearways.'The Controller of Engineering reported upon a Greater London Council survey of approximately 2,000 bus stops in London and proposals to introduce special traffic restrictions at these stops with a view to reducing delays and improving bus service reliability. Approximately 60 bus stops in this Borough would be affected.Resolved to RECOMMEND; • . That the Town Planning Committee:-(1) approve in principle the proposed introduction of the bus stop clearway scheme in this Borough, the cost of which will be borne by the Greater London Council; and(2) approve the Controller of Engineering requesting the following •two amendments to the Greater London Council detailed schedule of bus stop clearways for this Borough:-(a) Reference 124: Shaftesbury Avenue - the restricted hours to be increased to, 7 a.m. - midnight, because of the proximity to "The Shaftesbury" public house;(b) Reference 161: Lascelies Avenue - the length of restrictionto be reduced to 69 ft. so that the remainder of the bay isavailable for vehicles delivering to adjoining properties.
