DID YOU KNOW????
Westminster Council published a Stopping Up Order Notice
on 10 May 2013
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS????
The notice intends to give away a large part of the pavement on Edgware Road reducing it in width considerably (details at the bottom of the petition).
There are TWO SIMPLE YET COMPELLING REASONS why this order should be rejected:
1. Westminster Council are giving away this pavement to a developer for near to nothing. It is an extremely valuable piece of highway, worth millions of pounds, belonging to TfL which is being given away with no benefit to the public.
2. Westminster Council is permitting the pavement width to be reduced dramatically. This action will make these pavements drastically narrower, more congested, unsafe and extremely dangerous, and compromises the future of our school children, their parents, local business, local shoppers and tourists. Edgware Road is one of London's busiest thoroughfares and to make the pavement so narrow is putting people's lives at risk. Why has Westminster Council chosen to forfeit the safety of its residents, school children and taxpayers?
Why doesn’t the developer just remain and build what he likes within his existing boundaries, why does he need the pavement, is it for extra profit? Is it for selfish greed? Is our safety so cheap?
We oppose the stopping up order and demand its outright rejection.
We call on the Secretary of State for Transport and the London Mayor, Boris Johnson who is responsible for TfL, and the Transport Commissioner to order a public inquiry.
