What policy and legal levers are there to challenge private landowners to keep the fields in use for sports, where relevant, and open for public amenity more generally?

A response I received from TfL in regards to tube noise issues states that due to the financial impact of the pandemic “some non-safety-critical activities” have been delayed and that they could not confirm next steps when it comes to tube noise issues until the 2021/2022 budget has been confirmed. Will you commit to making tackling tube noise, that has a serious impact on the quality of life of many residents, a priority for the future?
