Chapter Road - Public Realm Improvements
Following the improvement of the Chapter Road Underpass in 2020, the Council and the community have identified the potential for additional landscaping improvements within the area of hardstanding located in between the Chapter Road underpass and Chapter Road itself, known as the Chapter Road former car park.
The area identified for potential improvement seems poorly designed, maintained and underutilised, lacking sufficient lighting which contributes to a poor perception of the environment.
The project will start with the engagement of the local neighbourhood and community groups to better understand views of the existing space, and options for co-design for public realm improvements within the Chapter Road (former car park) area.
Detailed design and delivery of any improvements, will be subject to securing funding confirmation and workable, sustainable design & management solutions.
With an improved public realm, the objective would be for increased ownership and surveillance of the area, which could help tackle some of the issues discussed with the Willesden Green Resident’s association group which include street drinking, fly tipping, and drug dealing.

Phases
Phase 4 - We would like your support!
Thank you to everyone who attended our session at the Willesden Green Library. Your feedback is really valuable to us!
As discussed, we are estimating the overall project cost to be between £100,000-£110,000. However, we can only request £50,000 from NCIL to deliver improvements. So following your feedback, the key things we need to prioritize are:
- Lighting
- CCTV
- Planters
Now we are now working to update the designs in order to submit the NCIL application in January 2022.
If you are supportive of the overall aim of this project to create a safer and more attractive public realm outside of the Chapter Road underpass, please send us your support via the poll below! If funding is secured, further discussions with you will take place with you to ensure we choose a design that will be successful in the longer term!
If you have any questions, please email us via: ChapterRoad@brent.gov.uk
