You asked

Have you asked for or did you receive any compensation from the third party that failed to carry out the correct information notice as per their contract?

We answered


TfL Ref: 065521/22

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 29 June 2021 asking for information about any compensation paid to TfL by contractors working on Trinity Road in February 2021.
 
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  I can confirm that we hold the information you require.

The works you are referring to were footway only works requested by contractors working on behalf of BT. The conditions of the works set out by BT contractors was from 6:30pm start time to 23:00pm . It would appear they started the works  around 11pm therefore not working the conditions set in their application of works. In addition a letter drop 7 days prior to the works commencing was not sent to residents. Following the complaint we contacted the contractors to highlight both working times nor letter drops had taken place. 

Any works overnight would require a noise request to the local authority which again wasn’t applied, based on the conditions set out for works to be completed by 11pm . However it appears they worked past this time. With this we have now implemented that evidence from these contractors is given to show letter drops have taken place prior to agreeing permits to work on the TFL network .

We haven’t asked for, or received, any compensation from these contractors, but we’ve taken the steps outlined above.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
