Imagine living somewhere with only one way to escape.
One road. One exit. Many thousands of people.

That is what is currently being proposed right next to Kensal Green Cemetery.

Thank you again for standing with us to protect the beauty of the cemetery.

But just beyond its walls lies another serious and urgent concern: Safety.

A single point of access

The entire development would depend on one main access point — Ladbroke Grove.

Many thousands of

• new residents,
• delivery vehicles,
• service traffic,
• and — critically — emergency services, 

All relying on that same single route in and out of the site.

What happens when something goes wrong?

In an emergency, seconds matter. If that single access point is blocked — by traffic, lorries, an accident, or anything unexpected — access is gone.

Not delayed — gone. What happens then?

This is not a technical detail. It is a fundamental question of safety for surrounding neighbourhoods in Kensington, Brent and Westminster. In a borough still shaped by the tragedy of Grenfell, it is a question that must be taken seriously.

A question of scale — and common sense

Developers propose a mega-density scheme on a constrained, island-like site. Such extreme over-development is simply unsustainable and sets a dangerous precedent London-wide.

Residents and experts say there is a better way — a lower-density, better-connected, more thoughtful development that delivers much-needed homes without compromising safety.

The Mayor of London now has the power to intervene.

He can call in the application.
He can direct refusal.
He can insist on a safer plan.

But only if the strength of concern is clear.

What can you do right now?
