LBH enforcement vehicle often parked in Swyncombe Avenue.

Does anyone know why this vehicle is often parked in Swyncombe Avenue?Are they trying to catch cars travelling over 20mph or looking for vehicles defying the no left turn from BMR? Or is there another sinister reason? !

Thanks, Guy.

Despite the fact that the road was specifically constructed to accomodate goods traffic when Northfields depot was being built and for the CEGB transformers at Gunnersbury.Still, I guess there are bigger issues to address for yourself and Cllr. Dunne like the 62% opposition to CS9 from those responding to the TfL survey.

Yes. You are not permitted to enter Swyncombe from Boston Manor Road, previously a favourite route from the A4 into Ealing. Through Swyncombe heading west has no restrictions (except for HGVs).Some people don't like it and a few protested by driving (from what I have seen) sometimes at considerable speed against the No Entry restriction.There is also some use by HGVs which have been banned for several years.

What are the rules now? Can you drive from Northfield Avenue to Boston Manor Road?

Susan Kelly ● 608d

Yes. Often with it idling. Very often in Swyncombe but seldom elsewhere. Also a large van with hidden cameras makes an occasional appearance.

Is this one of the little white cars with a protuberance on the top which used to whizz around the streets when the CPZs were first introduced? I hardly ever see one these days.

Just underline what the true reasons for stuffing up the district by closing the only purpose built link road off. ££££££sThat vehicle is never seen at some of the real problem areas.

It was parked there this morning. I wonder what job satisfaction the guy sitting in it enjoys.

Catching the morons ignoring the signs, I have encountered more than one.
