Vesage Court, Leather Lane and night tube

  • Reference: 2017/2488
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
Camden residents at Vesage Court, Leather Lane are subjected to disgusting urination at their doorways most nights which has got worse since the 24 hour tube began. Many homeless people are also present and clearly vulnerable. There is an unused City of London toilet in the middle of High Holborn as well as an unused taxi-drivers' hut. Will you investigate the possibilities of addressing these problems associated with the Night Economy and drug-related homelessness by bringing these facilities back into use?

The Dollis Valley Viaduct was built originally to accommodate a double track. However, a present the single track for tube trains is laid down the centre of the viaduct.

100 Avenue Road

  • Reference: 2017/2482
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
Essential Living plan to demolish the existing 100 Avenue Road building above Swiss Cottage Underground Station before all foundation plans are complete. Local groups commissioned and funded their own independent report by SDStructures Associates Ltd. which states that EL's "detailed design and assessment reports and outline method statements" are inadequate and that it was not yet safe to construct a 24 storey skyscraper directly above the Swiss Cottage Southbound Jubilee tunnel. I understand that their reports have been supplied to TfL. What is TfL's current view of the safety of these proposed works?

East Finchley tube noise

  • Reference: 2017/2481
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
After a site visit with residents, at long last TfL have established the cause of the high pitched tube rail noise that is disturbing residents, after grinding took place last year. They say that on the left hand rail which is the high-rail (there's a slight curve) there is some very short-wavelength corrugation over a distance of 50m. TfL believes that this corrugation is the source of the tonal noise that residents experience. However, TfL now refuses to do anything whatsoever about it, including refusing the suggested noise baffling fence as mitigation. Will you look at this again and see...
