LB of Brent: "Burnt Oak, Colindale and The Hyde Placemaking"




"The document has been developed with input from the officers from Brent, Barnet, Harrow, Transport for London and the local community. With the A5 corridor marking the boundary between Brent and Barnet, the endorsement of this document by both Boroughs is a powerful statement of the shared vision for the A5 as a focus for activity and regeneration over the coming years.
