Agenda item

The Committee received a report of the Town Clerk setting out their current list of outstanding actions.

Updates were provided as follows:

London Underground Noise

Following the meeting at the end of January 2020 with the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, Vernon Cole, Duncan Weir and Officers, LUL has confirmed that their  operations colleagues are still reviewing and modelling the data, however there may be scope for them to introduce a Temporary Speed Restriction (TSR) at 30kph (18mph) in both directions. Should the TSR be implemented, it would be in place from 23:00 to 06:00 and would be trialled for a three-month period. If the TSR is approved, then it would come into effect later this summer after the introduction of the new timetable.

In addition, the track team are also looking into obtaining a full possession of the line after the completion of the signalling works to assess what additional noise mitigation measures may be viable, including replacing this part of the track with resilient ballast mat and a longer switch turn out.

This update will be given to attendees at this month’s TfL and CoL Stakeholder Transport Forum meeting on 19 March 2020. Officers agreed to provide an interim report following the meeting on 19 March 2020.
