Major West London road to partially close for nearly 3 months from this weekend

One of the busiest roads in London will be partially closed from Sunday, July 21, until mid-October for "critical safety maintenance work", Transport for London (TfL) has warned. The A40 Westway in West London will be part closed from 10pm on Sunday.

TfL say that the structures which carry the Wood Lane flyover to the Marylebone flyover date back 55 years to 1969 and are reaching the end of their serviceable life. Therefore, TfL say: "They require safety critical maintenance to ensure they remain safe and can continue to serve Londoners for decades to come."

During the works, TfL will replace four joints providing support to the slip roads to the A40. Two separate phases of work will be carried out, which are outlined in full further down this story.

Routes around the A40 will be extremely busy during the works, TfL has warned. Drivers should plan ahead and use alternative routes if possible.

Works will be paused during Notting Hill Carnival, as TfL pledges to minimise disruption. Stuart Harvey, TfL's Chief Capital Officer, said: "We're determined to ensure a safe and well-maintained road network can play a full role in enabling Londoners to travel across the capital.

"These ageing 1960s structures are reaching the end of their serviceable life and road closures are essential if we are to ensure they can continue to serve Londoners for decades to come. We recognise that these closures will have a significant impact on people travelling in the area and are working hard to minimise disruption as much as possible, including by rescheduling other work and reviewing traffic signals.

"I'd like to thank people in the area for their patience and would encourage everyone to plan ahead for any journeys in the area."

Below are the two phases of the improvement work, including key dates and which roads will be closed. Diversion routes will also be issued once the works begin.

Phase one

From 10pm on Sunday, July 21 through to Thursday, August 22

Eastbound slip road from Westway roundabout and A3220 West Cross route southbound between the Westway Roundabout and the Holland Park Roundabout will be closed to all traffic.

Phase two

From Monday, September 2 to mid-October 2024

The westbound on slip from the A3220 West Cross Route to the A40 Westway via the Westway Roundabout will be closed. The A3220 West Cross Route from Holland Park Roundabout to the Westway Roundabout will also be closed to northbound traffic.

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Furious Sutton SEND parents slam 'disrespect' from council and announce end to 10-year partnership

A forum made up of parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities has cut ties with Sutton Council, accusing the authority of a lack of trust and not working effectively with them. Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
