Travellers Move Into Site 6, Bowes Road
Posted September 21, 2013
Posted September 21, 2013
Yesterday residents on Westminster Drive woke up to find that travellers had moved into the empty plot on the Bowes Road known as Site 6. There are about 10 caravans in total.
A resident of Westminster Drive reports “Already the fencing to the rear of the plot backing our gardens has been broken away, we are feeling very vulnerable.”
An official at the site who spoke to a member of BHORA this morning, advised that the travellers have come from their last stop at a sports ground in Edmonton, and that it could take a month to remove the travellers following the proper legal procedures.

This recent proposal for the conversion of 4 flats on Bowes Road at the corner of Natal Road, to a four-storey Bed & Breakfast with 17 single rooms and related communal areas is worrying. Many BHORA residents are concerned that such an establishment supporting a transitory population will aggravate pre-existing problems (such as parking), and would not contribute to the regeneration of the area, nor to creating and strengthening a stable residential community.

There are a number of sites along the A406 planned for development of blocks or high rised flats by Notting Hill Housing Trust.
Many BHORA residents want to see a revision of the development plans to provide housing sympathetic to the surrounding area, bearing in mind the impact on parking, and with sensible views on road safety. These are some of the points raised in the objection letter against one of the sites (i.e. site 6, Bowes Road), which you can download from this site. >> Read more
