BUSINESS owners in Northwood met their London Assembly member to discuss concerns over redevelopment of the station area. 

The visit by Dr Onkar Sahota follows a meeting between the Deputy Mayor for Transport, Heidi Alexander, and advocacy group Northwood Voice.

Traders spoke about worries over relocation, increased road congestion and the height and density of proposed new homes.

They are now asking for firmer assurances from Transport for London that replacement locations will be found for them.

TfL also says it will be holding another round of consultation events in March when the plans will be explained in greater detail.

The Northwood station scheme will provide at least 150 new homes, of which 35% will be affordable.

Dr Sahota said: “It is vital this scheme works for everyone. While we clearly need more genuinely affordable homes in the community, we also need to ensure residents and businesses are adequately accommodated and supported.”
