"Proposals to convert a railway yard in Cricklewood into a rail freight ‘super hub’ have been met with objections from residents. Protesters believe that noise, pollution, and traffic will soar dramatically if the plans go ahead.

"DB Cargo, the UK's largest rail freight hauler, has a 125 year lease on the land, which is owned by National Rail, until 2121.

"DB Cargo and the London Borough of Barnet would like to transform the rail yard, which is opposite the bus depot on Edgware Road, into a storage area for lorries to pick up aggregates, material used in construction, such as sand and gravel."
