Work to improve safety at an accident black spot in Edgware will not begin until April next year.

Residents believed notices that went up at the junction of the A41 Edgware Way and Broadfields Avenue in August and earlier this month meant work commissioned by Transport For London was due to begin.

But a TfL spokeswoman said the notices were put up by the utility companies and TfL's work would not begin until next year.

"They have nothing to do with the works that we are doing to improve the junction there. It is at the early design stage at the moment but will involve safety improvements including signals at the junction, improving the movement with a right filter into Broadfields Avenue and improving the footpath." Work is expected to last ten weeks.
