On 1 August it was announced that MOPAC (the Mayor’s Office for Policing And Crime) has added a further three months to the decision about the sale of the Notting Hill police station, thereby pushing it to mid November – at the earliest.
At the public meeting about TfL’s bicycle lane plan for Notting Hill Gate and Holland Park Avenue, held in Kensington Town Hall on 13 June, three days before the public consultation ended, the council leader Elizabeth Campbell announced to the 600 attending residents that the council would reject the plan. This somewhat chocked the London mayor’s walking and cycling commissioner, Will Norman, as the council previously had said that it would be neutral about the plan until the result of the public consultation had been published.
