Issue - meetings

Councillor Michael Cartwright queried why the Beaumont Avenue residents had not been consulted on the proposals as this was a significant issue of concern for them.

In response, it was noted that the proposed options were the best engineering choices available.  The depot currently has substantial traffic going in and out of it.  The existing road width was too narrow for a large vehicle to pass another vehicle from the opposite direction.  The works will allow large articulated lorries 6 – 9 times a day and on few occasions very long lorries access to the LUL deport site during the Earls Court development.

RESOLVED:

That approval be given to enter into a section 278 agreement with Capital and Counties (CapCo), and construct the highway workson Beaumont Avenue and Aisgill Avenue at an estimated cost of £130,000 (including fees), to be funded by CapCo.
