Agenda item

West Poultry Avenue

The Deputy Chairman reported back to the Committee on his recent visit to the vaults below West Poultry Avenue, where he had inspected the structure of the vaults so as to gain an understanding as to whether there was scope to alter the usage of the road above.

It was advised that the nature of the vaults was fundamentally different to those on adjoining tunnels, making any works difficult; further, the way in which electrical wiring was secured meant that any works would be extremely time-consuming and, consequently, given the very limited amount of time that work could be conducted within the tunnel, the cost could be prohibitive.
