You asked
Follow-up to FOI-3598-2223: This TfL scheme continues to cause significant, dangerous rat-running problems on residential roads adjoining the A24. But Wandsworth Council are refusing to take any remediation steps to address these problems until your review is complete. So you'll understand why it's unacceptable almost three years after this "temporary" scheme went in and over six months after the review was promised that you vaguely suggest in your response that "we expect to make our decision in the next few months".
Please provide a proper timescale for delivery of this review. Or, if you have no intention of actually ever delivering the review, please inform Wandsworth Council as such so that their excuse for inaction ceases to be valid.
