In response to Question 2024/4192 TfL stated that “site-specific factors may require a more granular approach when analysing the data and ultimately informing the frequency of grinding.” Please outline changes made to the current grinding programme (20 October 2024 - 20 March 2025) that this more granular approach to the analysis of data has led to.

In answer to Question 2024/4191 it was stated that TfL has adapted its rail grinding approach in this area. How has its approach changed, how has grinding frequency and meterage increased and what difference is this expected to make to residents living locally?

Between 20 October 2024 - 20 March 2025 the rails between Highbury and Islington and Kings Cross will have been ground once for a total 110m (see response to Question 2024/4194). Grinding frequency and meterage need to be returned to previous levels. When will this be implemented?

TfL has taken a "new" (since April 2022) data-led approach to grinding which has proved flawed because it fails to correlate with real noise as experienced by residents in their homes and as set out by in-home measurements taken by TfL's own engineers. How will TfL ensure that the concerns of my constituents regarding the noise disturbance they are forced to live with form part of its data-led approach?

Since April 2022 TfL has reduced the rail meterage ground in this area by +/-80% and extended the periods between grinding. How is TfL monitoring in-home noise disturbance for my constituents to ensure that these changes are not leading to an increase in Tube noise for them?

In the last five Tube Noise reports from the COO of TfL to Assembly Members, the Victoria line between Highbury and Islington and Kings Cross is recognised as one of the 5 persistent Tube Noise Hotspots. What new work has TfL undertaken in 2024 to reduce noise disturbance to my constituents living in this area?

You and I have campaigned for years on the need for greater tenant protections including the end to section 21 no-fault evictions and the application of Awaab’s law to the private rental sector. The Bill is set to go much further than the previous Renters Reform Bill which saw continuous delays under the last Government, including by taking action to end bidding wars. How do you think this Bill will protect Londoners?

After years of campaigning, are you pleased with the progress the Renters Rights Bill is making through parliament?
