HS2 Vent Shaft Site at Alexandra Place NW8

  • Reference: 2017/2477
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
According to HS2, their proposed Vent Shaft Site at Alexandra Place NW8 is 'Under Review'. Residents were informed they would be told as to whether it is still going ahead 'after Royal Assent'. As this shaft would create immense and prolonged local disruption, and as the HS2 Act has received Royal Assent, will you press HS2 to make an early decision on this?

Pedestrian crossing in Wood Street High Barnet

Further to Question No: 2017/0563: 'What public consultation did TfL undertake with High Barnet local residents, pensioner organisations, and with any users of the crossing, particularly the parents of the numerous small children who use the playground which is just inside the Old Court House Recreation Ground, about the changes to the crossing?' Your response being: 'This is a much-improved pedestrian crossing which now complies with Department for Transport regulations and is safer than the crossing it replaced.

Junction of Edgware Road/Kingsbury Road

  • Reference: 2017/2475
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
The junction of Edgware Road/Kingsbury Road has no 'all red phase'. After yet another serious accident, the air ambulance was required. As this is a major junction close to a primary school, several bus stops and ever more residential units, will you ask TfL to work with the boroughs to install an 'all red' pedestrian phase?

Complaints about the renumbered 13 bus (formerly 82)

  • Reference: 2017/2474
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
I have received a lot of complaints about the renumbered 13 bus service, including: (1) Buses not running to schedule with waits of 14 minutes at rush hour (2) multiple 13 buses arriving together in convoys of 3 and 4 (3) Multiple stops at bus stops for 1-2 minutes without the driver using the tannoy to inform passengers if the bus service was being regulated or not (4) Victoria destination buses terminating at Hyde Park Corner (5) Northbound from Hyde Park Corner, an empty 13 bus stopped at bus stop and the driver got out to use his mobile phone...

Renumbering of the 82 bus

  • Reference: 2017/2473
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
As part of TfL's pretence that the 13 bus has not been cut, the 82 bus has been renumbered 13. Signs at bus stops were changed with no notice at the stops of the change of route, renumbering the 82 as 13. This has led to considerable confusion amongst passengers. Why were no notices put on the stops to advise of this unpopular change, to avoid such confusion?

Bus stops outside Burnt Oak Station

  • Reference: 2017/2472
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
Without apparent warning, or any visible information as to why, TfL has merged two heavily used bus stops outside Burnt Oak Station and removed their attendant shelters. Whilst the shelter has since been replaced, the information display was not so that the time of arrival of the next bus is now a lottery. Will you look into this, explain why there was no notice, and have the stops and information display restored?

  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
TfL recently held a forum for Borough officers to come together to discuss the impacts from the Night Tube and the issue of access to toilets was raised, after which TfL agreed to look again at this issue and work with local authorities to review where opportunities exist to open toilets all night during Night Tube services. What is the present position regarding progress on providing more toilet facilities?
