Continue to progress feasibility work on theWestern FootbridgeMajor Event Related Activity6.49 Wembley Stadium is a world renownedcentre for sporting and other events regularlyattracting crowds of up to 90,000 spectators. Inaddition, other attractions take place at WembleyArena with a capacity of 12,500 attendees. Thearea around the Stadium and Arena is currentlysubject to major redevelopment including housing,shopping, leisure and commercial uses with furthersignificant development planned over the next10-20 years. Most travel to events is by publictransport but with crowds completing the last legof their journey on foot. 2,900 car parking spacesare provided on major event days and key eventscan attract as many as 450 coaches. A temporarytraffic and crowd management plan is activated onevent days and the partial completion of theStadium Access Corridor provides a tidal flow trafficsystem to be operated for vehicular travel to andfrom the North Circular Road.Picture 6.6 Event day coach parkingPicture 6.7 Event day crowds6.50 The key issues to be addressed includeensuring the safety and security of residents andvisitors alike, providing a high quality pedestrianenvironment, and managing car and coach accessand parking effectively. In many respects, asignificant amount has already been achievedincluding increased public transport capacity andaccess improvements at Wembley Park Stationand improvements for passengers queueing afterevents at Wembley Central and Wembley StadiumStations, improved access through the developmentof the White Horse bridge linking the Stadium toWembley town centre, and better vehicular accessto and from the North Circular Road. However,there are still concerns over matters such as coachaccess and parking, maintenance and improvementof pedestrian facilities and crossings; maintenanceand enhancement of the public realm; and providing

Introduce more effective signage forpedestrian and vehicular travel2. Provide an enhanced pedestrian environmentand introduce high quality public realmimprovements without detriment to residentsand visitors alike3. Provide new crossing facilities, primarily forspectators walking to the stadium, acrossWembley Hill Road.4. Efforts will be made by the Council to reducethe impact of pirate car parking.5. The Council will work with the Stadium toreview and develop the current event daytraffic management arrangement to optimisetraffic flow along the Harrow Road route.WEM 18Event Related TransportIn considering the location of new coachparking for Wembley Stadium, any new facilityshould:Be within 960m crow fly distance from thecentre of the Stadium;Vehicular access and egress from thecoach park must not conflict with eventday pedestrian movementsHave an appropriately sized dedicatedpedestrian route to the StadiumBe easily accessible from the majorhighway network especially the NorthCircular RoadBe located away from the town centre toavoid the need for coaches to use towncentre roadsBe sufficiently large to allow coaches tomanoeuvre easilyBe flexible to allow use by cars if requiredPriorities for Investment6.53 The range of transport improvements thatcan be promoted as part of an overall package ofimprovements in the Wembley area will require asignificant level of investment. Some of thisinvestment will be delivered as part of thedevelopment process and some will be drawn fromlocal and regional funding e.g. LIP, TfL, s106, CIL,London Growth Fund. However, there are limits asto the amount of funding available and the councilhas, therefore, identified priorities for schemefunding and will produce a programme forimplementation alongside other priorities in keyareas such as education, housing and communityinfrastructure.Evidence Base - TransportWembley Parking Standards (SteerDavies Gleave, December 2012)Gearing Up: An investigation into safercycling in London (GLA, November 2012)Wembley Highways and Bridge Study(Atkins, July 2012)Wembley Parking Strategy (MVA, July2012)Strategic Corridor Study (WestTrans,March 2012)Brent’s Local Implementation Plan2011-2014 (LBB, July 2011)West Sub-Regional Transport Plan (GLA,November 2010)Mayor’s Transport Strategy (GLA, May2010)Mayor’s Cycle Safety Action Plan (GLA,March 2010)Wembley Masterplan (LBB, June 2009)Wembley Transport Strategy KeyComponent Study (MVA, February 2009)
