Kentish Town Section House

  • Reference: 2017/4033
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
For many years the Police Section House behind the Police Station in Holmes Road NW5 3AE has stood empty. At a time of desperate housing shortage, it seems strange that it is not in use. Is the building part of the police or GLA estate, and if so will you consider developing the building into keyworker housing?

illegal flyposting in bus shelters

  • Reference: 2017/4028
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
A group called London Palestine Action was putting posters inside the official poster board covers in bus shelters calling for the cancellation of the Tel Aviv in London festival and making no secret of the fact. While it is of course their right to oppose almost anything they want this should be done lawfully. Whilst TfL removed the posters when it was brought to their attention, what action is being taken against those involved in this illegal flyposting activity to deter future flyposting of this nature?

Tube noise, Belsize Road NW6 next to Swiss Cottage tube

  • Reference: 2017/4026
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
From about 7th August tube noise, which previously was of no concern, has become a serious problem for residents in Belsize Road NW6, next to Swiss Cottage tube station, with every 30 seconds loud rumbling and vibrations and Fridays and Saturdays bringing 24 hour disturbance with the night tube. There have been constant track works/repairs this year, and it seems something has drastically been changed, affecting the soundproofing. Residents have complained to TFL but have had no response back. What is the cause of this sudden change in noise; and what will you urgently do to stop it?

  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
Whilst it is good to see that the A406 Staples Corner flyover maintenance temporary full closures were completed early, why could this work not have been done in the school holidays when traffic is quieter so as to minimise disruption at this busy junction?
