Victoria Line Tube Noise, Chalton St NW1

  • Reference: 2017/0566
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
Residents have complained for over six months, about noise levels exceeding 52dB (against a recommended limit of 35dB) from the Victoria Line in this area. Will you ensure TfL produces a clear noise mitigation plan to bring back tube noise at an acceptable level; schedule for the noise reduction works; and clear and measurable noise targets?

TfL permits to erect scaffolding on the highway and pavement on red routes

  • Reference: 2017/0565
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
What steps do TfL take to ensure that when granting or continuing a permit for scaffolding on a red route, such as at 154 to 160 Camden High Street, that the scaffolding is needed; that the work for which it is required is being done expeditiously; and what consideration is given to the impact on neighbouring homes and business which may be affected by the scaffolding?

TFL's Archway gyratory scheme

  • Reference: 2017/0564
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
Will you conduct an urgent review of this scheme which is not helping cyclists, pedestrians or bus users and is creating significant traffic congestion? Cyclists ask "what is the point?" of the very wide cycle lanes around the gyratory which they don't use in any number on the Highgate Hill and Archway road lanes. Serious tailbacks occur in St. John's Way as one can no longer turn right from here into Highgate Road. Bus users must descend into the cycle lane (heading north) at the first stop on the Archway Road. This is a death trap and deters bus users...

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?

Colindale tube station

  • Reference: 2017/0562
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
It has long been established that this station is in need of an upgrade especially due to the rapidly rising population served by the station. What is the present position with the upgrade; what form will the upgrade take; how will it be financed; what is the timetable for this; and when is it expected to be completed?

PCN mitigation

  • Reference: 2017/0561
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
In a recent case involving one of my constituents, it transpires that local authorities, who do not accept PCN appeal representations solely based on mitigating factors, are not making clear to those appealing in their rejection letters that the London Tribunal does not accept mitigating factors as a ground to cancel a PCN. Residents are thus erroneously led to make a further appeal to the Tribunal when they have zero chance of success, and so end up having to pay the full penalty fare instead of the discounted early pay rate. Will you undertake to write to all Councils in...

Buses on Oxford Street

  • Reference: 2017/0560
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
Further to Question No: 2016/4844: "If the Elizabeth Line, when open, is being used as an excuse to cut bus routes that use Oxford St, will bus passengers be able to travel on the Elizabeth Line for free for the length of Oxford St, to pick up another bus at the other end of Oxford Street?" Your response being: "The opening of the Elizabeth line will be the most significant transformation to transport in central London for a generation and we predict there will be a reduction in bus use along Oxford Street when it comes into operation in two...

Improving internet connectivity in East Finchley

  • Reference: 2017/0557
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
I understand that Fiber-Optic cabling does not extend to the Strawberry Vale estate in East Finchley. Given the importance of accessing information and services online, will you undertake to write to BT and ask them to investigate how they can improve internet service here, and if they can extend Fiber-Optic cabling if needed?
