TfL Ref: FOI-0170-2021
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 6th May 2020 asking for information about street works carried out at Station Approach, Woodford Wells, Woodford Green, IG8 7QE.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.
Specifically you asked:

Having taken all reasonable measures to try and find the requested information (including liaison with eight separate teams across TfL who may potentially have been able to assist) I am afraid that we have been unable to do so. I can only conclude, therefore, that the information is not held.
On a more general matter, please note that the Government has announced a series of measures to tackle the coronavirus. It is essential for London that we continue to provide a safe transport network for essential journeys.
In current circumstances, we are not able to answer FOI requests readily and we ask that you please do not make a request to us at present.
Answering FOI requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. In any event, please note that our response time will be affected by the current situation.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely,
David Wells
