Follow-up from FOI-2574-2021
1. Please furnish minutes of any meetings where TfL has discussed with NCP Ltd the proposed closure of Cockfosters Station Car Park and the construction of flats on the land.
(It would be difficult to believe that such meetings would not be deemed formal and, as such, would presumably be minuted.)
2. You refer in your email to a tender process for a new contract. Please describe the scope/intended scope of this tender.
(I can’t find anything on the TfL website.)
