Paving in Kensal Green

Brent Council recently decided to introduce tarmac surfaces where paving has previously been used.  An example of this practice from Furness Road is shown above.  I have long complained about this road, where the pavements have been bad for years.  I think that rather than take what the late Dan Filson called the "liquorice allsorts" approach to surfaces, it would be better simply to do the whole stretch the same way.  I would prefer the kind of surfacing you see at Hazel Road in front of Harriet Tubman House, although that is more expensive.
