Tower Hamlets Council has agreed to resurface Fairfield Road following complaints from residents and after the issue was raised by local councillors.
For some time now residents living along Fairfield Road have been complaining about the deteriorating condition of the road exacerbated by buses driving over the damaged highway and the noise that this has caused.
Cllr Marc Francis has confirmed that an inspection has been carried out and that council officers have now raised an order for the stretch of highway at the south end of Fairfield Road (between Bow Road and the pedestrian crossing by Grove Hall Park) to be resurfaced. Three other parts of the road are being closely monitored and will be considered for works if funding can be identified.
An update on the start date of the resurfacing will be provided once the street works notice is obtained and the works programmed.
Hi,
I’d love to get involved in this as I have been trying to get somewhere with getting the capacity of the garage reduced in the short to medium term as there are more busses than they can take already running out of it with a view to eventually getting it moved in the long term and perhaps a London Transport Museum East could be built there or something … after all the V&A is coming to Stratford… If they can resurface the bottom of the road it will probably mean suspension of busses during the works. I know that Stagecoach held the council to ransom about moving routes when the works were done on Bow road for the cycle lane and therefore it did not happen. so if the bottom of road is done it makes financial sense to only move the routes once and do the whole road ?
I’d love nothing more that to see the back of the garage all together and am willing to join forces with anyone who can put together a unified constructive means to that end
