We have received the following communication from the organisers of the Vitality North London Half Marathon which will affect a number of roads in Fryent on Sunday 20th March.
We have copied the details and relevant roads affected in Fryent below, contact detail of the organisers are also below.
The Vitality North London Half Marathon is returning for its second year on Sunday 20th March 2016. This exciting event takes place across the London Boroughs of Brent and Barnet and expects to attract up to 8,000 runners, many of whom will be fundraising for local and national charities. The event continues to be supported by both Brent and Barnet Councils, and by working in partnership with a strategic long-term aim, the event will continue to support a number of public health and active lifestyle initiatives, by encouraging local residents of both boroughs to get involved in sport and physical exercise, as well as by offering a number of volunteering and community engagement opportunities. Using the roads of Brent and Barnet for the race will cause some changes to usual traffic routes for a limited period, during the morning of Sunday 20th March. In planning this event, every effort is made to minimise the disruption caused due to the closure of these roads. The route has been carefully considered, and we are working in close consultation with the London Boroughs of Barnet and Brent, Transport for London and all emergency services. We are now contacting local business and organisations to provide a copy of the 2016 race route, along with the list of road closures that will be in place. We will be operating a dynamic reopening schedule to ensure that roads are reopened as soon as possible, once runners have completed each section of the route, and when it is safe and feasible to do so.
Roads to be closed, or partially closed, on Sunday 20th March:
Fryent Way (between The Paddocks and Valley Drive).
Valley Drive
Kingsbury Road (between Valley Drive and Roe Ggreen)
Roe Green.
Hay Lane.
Slough Lane
Salmon Street.
The majority of roads around the route will close at 7.15am, except where shown otherwise above*. A number of local access points will be kept open to allow traffic to cross the route, until approximately 8.15am. Further information regarding these crossing points will be provided in subsequent communication in early March. The race is due to start at 8.45am and the reopening schedule will begin from 10.00am. The majority of roads will be reopened by 1:00pm, with Brook Avenue and Bridge Road being the final roads to reopen, by 1.30pm. Parking suspensions will also be in place on a number of the above roads - further information regarding these will be provided on subsequent communications and displayed in the affected areas nearer the event date. Please do allow extra time for your journey, and where possible, avoid driving in the area during the closure period. If you do need to drive on the morning of Sunday 20th March, please consider parking on an alternative street on the evening of Saturday 19th March, to enable you to carry out your journey.
We are very grateful for the support of local residents and hope that this advance notice helps with your planning around the closures. We appreciate your understanding with any inconvenience experienced due to these restrictions, and if you would like to discuss further please get in contact by emailing northlondon@go2events.org.uk or calling 0845 308 4002.
