Lights on A4

Is there any good reason why the lights on the underside of the flyover between Windmill Rd and Ealing Road are still switched off some weeks after the works are complete on this section.It is dangerous at the moment.We have already had one fatality on the pedestrian crossing which was partly due to the lack of lighting. Apparently they were switched off for the safety of the workforce if so why haven't they been switched back on.

Treacherous and highly polluting roadworks with plant running all day pumping unfiltered pollutants into businesses and homes for months and months.Dreadful lighting for as long as I can remember.Always dirty not from litter but lack of thorough cleansing.TfL manage to install cameras all over the place and they are cleaned every week. Yet traffic lights are not nor the pedestrian crossing controls or the footpaths and crossings.Surely if National Highways cannot be bothered then TfL should get on their backs rather than constantly pillorying road users for whom this city would otherwise economically collapse. And LBH need to get tough with TfL as they are no better at traffic management as the continuing debacle of the traffic lights at South Ealing road demonstrates every day and night.The inference is it is only Cllr. Lambert doing anything and not much support coming from other councillors or indeed senior officers.So maybe a petition of more from residents is needed.?

Not Necessary. I am in contact with TfL about this and have been trying to resolve for years. Most of the lights were not working before National Highways (who own the M4) turned them off. TfL are negotiating for a new solution to cover all the area below the M4, but I've reminded them to get whatever is left of the old lights to be turned on. TfL try to help, National Highways are not interested

One for Cllrs. Lambert and (invisible) Dunne to ask of the contractors and traffic authorities. Drop them an email.
