The Old Oak Neighbourhood Forum has sent a letter to the Chair and all members of the OPDC Board, setting out the growing concerns of local residents on recent news from HS2 and TfL.
- problems identified by Transport for London (TfL) on the design and layout of the Old Oak Common rail interchange
- continued lack of any workable solution to provide road access at the eastern end of the interchange, increasing reliance on the western entrance/exit on Old Oak Common Lane
- announcements from HS2 that this section of Old Oak Common Lane could be closed to vehicles for as long as 4 years, for works to lower the road and install utilities.
We continue to believe there is lack of dialogue between the key agencies involved and the ‘host’ Boroughs. It is the Boroughs which are the Highway Authorities for the interchange and the area now badged as ‘Old Oak West’.
