Public Consultation 
Willesden Lane – Bus Stop 
We would like to hear your views on the permanent relocation of the bus stop on Willesden 
Lane that was outside of Christ Church Court to its current temporary location outside of 
Beechworth. 

Why was the bus stop moved? 

Following a site inspection by the Metropolitan Police, London Buses and Brent Council the bus 
stop outside of Christ Church Court was closed and a temporary bus flag erected outside of 
Beechworth. It was believed that prompt action was necessary due to serious concerns about 
safety. 

The specific concerns with the original bus stop location were that it was: 

• 
located in between two fairly sharp bends which reduced visibility for bus drivers and 
other motorists 
• 
too close to Mapesbury Road which again caused visibility issues 
• 
too close to the vehicular access into and out of Christ Church Court 
• 
restricting visibility of the Pelican Crossing traffic signals for approaching motorists 
What has happened since the bus stop was moved temporarily? 

Following the relocation of the bus stop further investigations and discussions have taken place 
to look into all possible locations where the bus stop could be moved to on a permanent basis. 

These investigations have determined that the current temporary location is the only viable 
location for the bus stop (that is not too close to adjacent stops). It is therefore proposed to 
make the bus stop permanent in its current location outside of Beechworth. We would like to 
hear your views on this. 

The closing date for this consultation is 29th November 2010
