Grove Park Still Waiting for Safer Streets

The area continues to suffer from dangerous traffic speeds, blind corners, and crossings that are either unmarked or poorly lit.

Pedestrian safety and speeding continue to be ignored by Labour-run Council. 

Despite years of requests from residents, and the introduction of London’s largest Low-Traffic Neighbourhood by Hounslow Council, basic safety improvements for pedestrians in Grove Park remain incomplete. The area continues to suffer from dangerous traffic speeds, blind corners, and crossings that are either unmarked or poorly lit. 

Parents walking children to school at Grove Park Primary and nearby nurseries have flagged near-misses at key junctions like Hartington Road and Grove Park Bridge. Yet Hounslow Council continues to delay action— failing to install zebra crossings, improve signage, or calm traffic speeds. 

Conservative councillors have pushed for targeted road safety upgrades using Section 106 and TfL funding—but Labour has failed to prioritise Grove Park’s needs. “Residents have been clear: they want safer crossings, slower traffic, and walkable streets,” said Cllr Gabriella Giles. “Labour must stop ignoring this community.”

Cllr Peter Thompson and Cllr Gabriella Giles both live in the ward, so when local issues arise, we see them too. We walk the same streets, use the same crossings, and shop in the same local stores. That’s why we take our role seriously and act quickly when something needs fixing.
