Residents and businesses in Brackenbury Village are invited to a meeting on 2 December to discuss formalising their Home Zone powers, which could allow for temporary street closures for resident-led activities.

The meeting will take place from 6pm to 8pm at John Betts Primary School in Paddenswick Road (W6 0UA). The formal Home Zone designation grants legal recognition and expanded powers, such as the ability to temporarily close streets for resident-led events like Play Streets, community celebrations, and street parties.
Brackenbury residents have informally adopted some neighbourhood powers over the past 20 years, including a 20mph speed limit for safety reasons prior to its borough-wide introduction.
Local residents are encouraged to register to attend the meeting. For more information, email capital.projects@lbhf.gov.uk.
