Harshi Patel has finally managed to produce a leaflet in Brent North. I think it is his first despite still only being weeks away from polling day.
One pledge that puzzled me is his promise to "speed up traffic on the North Circular Road." Firstly, it is not obvious what changes could be made to the road to speed up traffic. It doesn't have any traffic calming measures in the Brent stretch that I can see. Whatever problems there are are caused by the sheer volume of vehicles. Secondly, does he not think safety should be a consideration? Only a short while ago, a boy was killed at the junction close to IKEA. Would Harshi's plans make such accidents more or less likely?
