    I welcome your support for the campaign calling for sprinklers to be fitted in all new social housing tower blocks in the lead up to today's anniversary of the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower six months ago.

  • Bridges (1)

    • Reference: 2017/5219
    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 14 December 2017
    I regularly get serious complaints from my constituents and local ward councillors about the state of bridges and underpasses. The complaints relate to the poor upkeep (both in terms of decorative state as well structural conditions / water seepage etc) due to years of neglect by TfL and other operators. These raise very valid concerns about safety, environmental impact and visual appearance of the area. Additionally some of these underpasses/bridges provide access to areas people use for their regular walks. What are TfL's policies for regular (cyclical) repairs and maintenance and how much is TfL able to influence other operators...
  • Jubilee Line - Under Bridges (2)

    • Reference: 2017/5220
    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 14 December 2017
    There are severe complaints from residents in Willesden Green and Dudden Hill wards (In Brent) about the state of the bridges. Park Avenue / Park Avenue North: There are two bridges carrying the Jubilee/Metropolitan and Chiltern line and there is a third bridge, which is no longer in use as the tracks at each end have been removed. The complaints are about poor lighting under the bridges and the old pigeon netting (over ten years old) has badly deteriorated with the resultant mess Additionally water is seeping down the supporting structural walls which are covered with mould and have deteriorated...
  • Jubilee Line - Under Bridges (3)

    • Reference: 2017/5221
    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 14 December 2017
    This one relates to the short underpass, that goes under the same railway lines, between Churchill Road / Chapter Road in Willesden Green and Griffen Close / Waterford Way in Dudden Hill. The walls of the underpass are painted black to stop graffiti. But the lighting is poor and is often graffitied over making it darker. This is a well-used pedestrian route but people are deterred using it because of safety concerns. Can you please confirm who is responsible for the upkeep of this underpass - is it TFL or Network Rail? Can you please advise how we can get...
  • Buses - Poor Driving Practices

    • Reference: 2017/5222
    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 14 December 2017
    My concerns relate to some poor driving practices I've observed by bus drivers who fail to indicate when they are turning at junctions and also blocking signalled pedestrian crossings, creating obstruction and safety hazards for pedestrians including babies in prams. One example is the junction of Station Road in Harrow served by a number of routes (including 140, 340 and 186 etc). Buses going from the direction of Debenhams on Station Road (Harrow Town Centre) and turning left on the Station Road going towards Harrow Civic Centre travel at some speed and often fail to indicate when turning and then...
