We asked the Highways Team to remove or relocate the large signs on the pavement on Praed Street and London Street. Residents say:

“Two large notices have been on the pavement of the corner of the old London Street and Praed Street for more than a year. Given the flow of pedestrians in this area, they make walking on Praed Street quite perilous, let alone make any kind of social distancing possible. Removing those two large notices from the pavement would at least free up a bit of very needed space for pedestrians at the entrance of Paddington station.”

The Highways Team say:

“We have investigated the information signs on Praed Street near the junction with London Street in reference to Tanner Lane. We have today removed them as the new layout has been in place for over a year.”

We told residents about this small success and they say:

“I would not call it a small success, but a great success! Thank you so much for your involvement, and congratulations on making this happen. I know it is not always easy to make the bureaucracy move. Thank you once again.”
