Roger Evans AM: Jenny [Jenny Jones AM] made quite a good point, actually, about the noise that residents living near the lines will experience. I know I have had complaints and concerns raised by people in Woodford and South Woodford who live alongside the Central line where it is on an embankment and they are going to be subject to some noise overnight. Can you make sure that Transport for London (TfL) actually addresses those complaints and reassures them that it is not going to be a life-changing, sleep-depriving thing?
