TRANSPORT FOR LONDON CAUSE CHAOS IN CHEAM
November 5, 2009 10:14 AM
Local Liberal Democrat MP, Paul Burstow, has blasted planners at Transport for London for poor communication and appalling timing in starting major road works in Ewell Road, Cheam Village at the start of the busy autumn period and run up to Christmas.
Traders have complained to Mr Burstow about the disruption to their businesses that the work will cause, making it difficult for customers to park and for goods to be delivered. Mr Burstow has also learned that St Dunstan's Primary school who would be affected by plans to temporarily close Anne Boleyn's Walk at its junctions with the Ewell Road causing difficulties for parents and children getting to the school.
Mr Burstow has taken up the matter for TfL bosses. He is asking what consultation took place with traders and what steps are being taken to work with traders to ensure that business is not harmed.
Commenting Paul Burstow MP, said, "TfL bosses have failed to consult the school and failed to consult with traders. That failure means that they have not planned their works with either the school of local traders in mind. Business is hard at the moment so major road works have to be very carefully planned and timed to accommodate businesses to make sure that no harm is done to trade."
