Sewage systems

x5,000 homes at least x10,000 more people - bet they aren’t going to touch the drainage and sewage systems - people always overlook what they can’t see.

Ultimately what you end up with is water / sewage levels constantly higher throughout the systems so that when you do get a few days hard rain it can’t cope and the streets flood - more concrete doesn’t help - any patch of green that gets covered in concrete is a little less natural drainage on rainy days

> not to mention school places, public transport and more NHS overload

Concrete jungle

Omg it will be like the Edgware Road by Burnt oak/colindale a Massive concrete jungle.will they be building more schools, hospitals, Drs and Dentists to cope with these extra people all over the borough ?????

Colindale

Noooo

Will be like colindale and wembley

Northern line service

What are they going to do with the public transport in the area? The northern line service is already reaching its full capacity.

Pedestrian access

Redevelopment of the Broadwalk Shopping Centre must provide excellent pedestrian access across the site.

Whitchurch Lane/A5 junction

Where in the plans does it mention a pedestrian crossing phase to be introduced to the traffic lights at the junction of Whitchurch Lane and the A5?

With no pedestrian phase to the lights it is frightening and extremely dangerous trying to get across the road. 

If you don't know what I mean I'd be more than happy to meet you at the crossing and try to walk across together.

In the past Barnet has said not enough people have been killed or seriously injured yet to do anything about it.

> The other day I saw a woman in tears as she was trying to cross but was frightened to run out into the road with her baby in a push chair and a toddler.

Pretty rough

Probably look like burnt oak with sky scrapers wonder how they will make station road wider it’s only single lane now with thousands more cars on the road. It is pretty rough around there at the moment and some of the restaurants look so uninviting and not one decent clothes shop there. The area attracts a lot of pick pockets and shady people around the ATM machines. What would be useful is a decent police station there

Needs a complete rethink

Absolutely awful, the place will be ruined and lose it's present character. High rise buildings are a throwback to an earlier time and a lot have been demolished and replaced with more socially attractive homes. The anti-social nature of tower blocks has been recognised in many locations and further development of this nature should not be permitted in well established towns. There seems to be no provision for the increase in traffic which will result. Why has consideration not been given to reopening the tube line from Mill Hill East. That would make access to Edgware from locations such as Mill Hill and beyond much easier and reduce the need for more inefficient buses. This whole plan needs a complete rethink.

Banstock Road

The road to the track depot behind Banstock road is outside your yellow boundary line yet you say you will have walking access to mill hill nature reserve.  No one in the road has been notified about any sort of proposal, the security of our houses from the new pathway and noise that may occur.  When the road was built we had in writing it would only ever be a private road for tfl

Deansbrook

Some of it is a bit unnecessary such as extra housing in the last proposal and I think the use of the grounds near Deansbrook already has a golf course and football grounds would spoil it

Fantastic

Fantastic and about time... I have lived in Edgware from 1971-1981 and 1995 to Present Day and the last couple of years have been seriously considering Moving due to the rapid decline of the area I may well hold off if these plans get the go ahead and Works start soon.

Buildings to high

Very terrible. Buildings to high. Does not keep the area livable.

Strongly support

I strongly support them

Greener, with public squares

No high-rise building. Just make Edgware town centre greener, with public squares, seating and water features. The area needs to change to encourage nicer individual shops and tea/coffee, restaurants etc. Perhaps a small cinema.

Mill hill nature reserve

I think it's a great idea. I also love the idea of parks, cinema and also more water features towards mill hill nature reserve. 

I also wanted to add that we live on Hale Drive that backs onto the nature reserve and old railway line. It would be wonderful to see a safer path from us to Edgware and also to utilise the incredible nature reserve more. 

Infrastructure

The government is bent on destroying all areas not just Edgware. No amount of objections are listened to. Small rise or high rise still no outside space or infrastructure. Certainly not for local people but investers and fat cats, nor do they want any vehicles, your all to use public transport, so short sited, it's a case of I'm alright Jack in all senses and what can we do next.  

Cramming

Edgware has been run down over the last 10 years or so, whilst simultaneously building flats that local people cannot afford. Cramming in flats in every available space. Unscrupulous landlords then buying them and cramming as many people in ad possible(i know of a few cases of this personally).

The shopping centre, once a thriving hub of shops that people might actually need or want, has again been run down to a few shops (Sainsburys) that you might need. But even Sainsburys has shrunk and doesn't stock all you might want.

There is no pubs except for 1. So nowhere for the community to gather as they did in the past.

The crime is out of control. Security guards are non existent in the shopping centre, yet theiving is rife.

I will not go to Edgware unless it is absolutely unavoidable.

 I will not park in the car park as there is now a private company in charge of the car park and are giving out tickets because you are not parked within the non existent lines on the bays.

Edgware has become over populated and under funded.

Need a balance

I agree we need to regenerate it into a suburban high street..As in many high streets in the local area we have too many coffee shops, hair salons and nail bars , and take away food outlets.  I think we need some Of these, but I think we need a balance, we need more  affordable high street shops for families to shop in, as well as some traditional shops such as greengrocers and bakers. I definitely agree we need a better system for pick up from the station, the turning circle is far too small and whilst I agree we don’t want people to be just sat there all night , there should be a bit more space  and flexibility with this. 

It would be nice to have a little area to sit and have a coffee etc a bit like Mill Hill town square,  and I would like to see something done about bakery path, it’s very dim and badly lit, and it needs policing a bit more to make it safe to walk through day and night.

Ugly high rise buildings

Stop ! destroying the area with this regeneration, no dentists no doctors or school places because more and more ugly high rise buildings are being placed, in an all ready over croweded area. Burnt oak , west hendon and colindale destroyed. The green spaces are gone and People do not want comual gardens. We want houses and space for our children. I

Over development

I think they should save the Railway Hotel and bring it back to how it was a beautiful listed building . Barnet council have destroyed our areas by making them into a concrete jungle! As a resident of 56 years I am not happy of the over development and this seriously needs to stop! 

Community hubs

Pubs were once the community hubs but they are being brought with the intention of running them down to get planning permission for flats ---------- The railway and change of hart are 2 examples  - the council only care about cramming people in 

Should not be a high rise area

Edgware should not be a high rise area, were local residents consulted when Barnet counsel made this decision. I do not like the proposal. It's not in keeping with the area and it's drastic change.

Drastic change

I’m not happy about the plans I think Edgware is fine as it is But too many drastic changes will ruin Edgware

Not happy

I’m happy with Edgware as it is I’m not happy about the redevelopment plans and I’m not happy about these flats and tall buildings being made, Edgware has a great history and I really hope you don’t ruin what’s currently in place. I have been living in Edgware my whole life and I’m not happy about these proposals.

Quality open spaces

Edgware needs more high quality open spaces. There are already enough high rise buildings in Central Edgware. We can take more mid-rise buildings up to 8 storeys, but not the 23/30 floors proposed. How will local fire brigades cope with that many storeys?

The increase in the number of residential dwellings needs to have an associated increase in the provision of social infrastructure - GPs, schools, buses, youth centres, leisure provision. The use of so much open ground as car park is a waste of space, make it multi-storey or underground parking with dwelling/community space on top.

Bring back a local cinema and allow shops inside the Broadwalk to open as late as Sainsburys. Keep the drop off point outside the tube station.

How long will it take

How long will it take and how much disruption will it cause.

Too many tall flat buildings

STOP PLEASE THE OVERDEVELOPMENT OF EDGWARE THERE'S TOO MANY TALL FLAT BUILDINGS ENOUGH. Sort out Harrow instead harrow is a big mess

Against more high rise

Totally against more high rise buildings. In favour of restoration of the Railway Pub. 

For the landlords

It's awful. Money making scheme for the landlords that will make the area miserable. 

Local business

Why are so many meat/butcher shops opening on our high street - please do not turn it into burnt oak that would be awful! We need to retain the culture, bring in good local business, let it be more like Mill Hill broadway high street. Less of Colindale. Edgware has so much to offer beautiful suburban area, beautiful homes, but the high street is becoming awful, looks like anyone can open anything on it

Are there provisions

Are there provisions for schools, nurseries, leisure facilities, GPS to accompany the extra people. Where are the leisure and sports facilities in and around Edgware to cater for the additional people (let alone current residents)

Do not agree

I think high rise flats will drag the town centre further down than it already is. There will not be enough parking for all of the new residents or shoppers as there is barely any parking now. I also do not agree with any high rise flats that would be able to overlook edgware primary school putting childrens safety at risk. Make a plan that will improve the town not just line big boss's pockets. 

Making the town centre greener

100% no to 30 storey tower block from Knight Frank!! Rest sounds ok. Especially making the town centre greener with some public squares and more seating, water features etc.

Needs a cinema

Edgware really needs a cinema. Let @vuecinemas open one there.

Add cycling infrastructure

At the moment it is very difficult to cycle from Edgware to Edgware Lidl.  There are no crossings, there are barriers.  There is one way entrance and exit.  Parking is insecure and far from the trolleys.

Please save lidl and add cycling infrastructure to the A5 Edgware High Road.

Save the Broadwalk

Save the Broadwalk.  If these plans are approved it will lie empty for years.

Mid rise solution

Tower blocks?  No thanks!

In stead mid rise solution.

Mansion blocks yes

Terraces yes.

Edgware was 'Clean'

I've lived in Edgware for 48 Years ..  as a kid in the 70's 80's Edgware was 'Clean' .. relaxed .. with proper 'Shops' for our needs, Now its hard to walk, without bumping into people, and Coffee Tables etc .... get rid of the 'Beggars' once and for all ... The High Rise Blocks have ruined Edgware .. also the shops looks ragged, scruffy ...  Shop signage is the same  , and i dont think ive seen a Police Officer walk past me, since about 1985 !

Does Edgware need a new bus station?

POLL: Yes 9, No 3

• It's awful the doors are always open which is a problem during the colder months

• Yes it an awful dive
