Our Response

What projects will happen in South Kilburn under the £14.5 million and £8 million Community Infrastructure Levy spend to 'revitalise roads, parks and public safety infrastructure'? This spending was announced in the weekly news emails fronted by Council Leader Muhammed Butt of 1 Aug and 19 Sep 2025?

 

Response From: Neighbourhood and Regeneration Service

 

As part of the Investing in Brent programme, Carlton Vale will receive new bins, and the road markings will be refreshed.

 

There are also approximately 25 new trees planned for the Kilburn ward which South Kilburn is part of specific locations are yet to be confirmed.

The 'Investing in Brent report provided at the Brent Connects Kilburn meeting has various 'boroughwide' initiatives. Can you confirm whether the following will deliver any activity in South Kilburn:

 

  • The Don't Mess with Brent 2 Neighbourhood Patrol Officers?
  • The Don't Mess with Brent HMO compliance?
  • The Don't Mess with Brent Neighbourhood Manager?
  • Estates Programme - Waste Programme?

 

Response From: Neighbourhood and Regeneration Service

 

Yes, to all the points raised.

The potholes in Malvern Road NW6 were raised as a concern at both the previous Brent Connects Kilburn meetings (the second time by me). This isn't simply a matter of one or two small potholes, the road has potholes and very uneven surfaces all the way along, so much so that visitors frequently comment on it, including describing Malvern Road's surface as 'the worst road in Brent'.

  • When was Malvern Road last resurfaced, and when will it next be resurfaced?

 

Response From: Highways Management Team

 

Surfacing works on Malvern Road (from outside No.?97 to Kilburn Park School) were completed between 4–5 August 2011 as part of the DfT short?section patching programme.

 

Malvern Road is not currently included in the Planned Maintenance (capital) programme. Brent carries out full condition surveys of all borough roads each year, with new surveys planned for the spring. These results will shape the draft 2026/27 maintenance programme, due to go to Cabinet in early summer. It is therefore not yet possible to confirm whether Malvern Road will be selected for resurfacing.

There are no reactive works ordered for this location and no pothole reports on the system.

 

Residents can report specific issues (e.g., “Pothole outside 1 Malvern Road”) to highways.management@brent.gov.uk so they can be logged and inspected. Any defects meeting investigation thresholds will be prioritised for repair. If no specific locations are provided, defects will be picked up during the next routine inspection.

 

Defects can also be reported via:

  • Brent Council website: Report a pothole or broken pavement
  • FixMyStreet (FMS)
