Pavement slabs being replaced with asphalt

  • Reference: 2021/2257
  • Question by: Zack Polanski
  • Meeting date: 24 June 2021
Constituents in Brent have had to a form a campaign group, Brent Residents Against Asphalt Pavements (BRAAP) to attempt to reverse a policy from the council there to rip up pavements with paving slabs and replace them with asphalt. The asphalt used is not permeable, and reduces the environmental quality of the pavement, as well as wasting resources by replacing long-lasting paving slabs.
