The volumes of traffic using Tomswood Hill have increased and will increase further as the London Borough of Redbridge has agreed planning permission for the expansion of Ilford Jewish Primary to be located on the King Solomon's site. This will lead to a significant increase of pupils, many of which come by car and it is questionable whether the current infrastructure will be able to cope. Given this, and given that Redbridge has spent over £270,000 on preparations for signalling to be installed, will the Mayor do everything possible to ensure that TfL agree to progress with this proposal?

Why were TfL and Network Rail not better coordinated in arranging their engineering works?
