Flooding on cycle superhighway 3

  • Reference: 2017/3605
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
Constituents report persistent flooding on cycle superhighway 3 directly beneath Blackfriars Bridge.

Will you ask TfL to conduct a site investigation and carry out remedial works?
