TfL Ref: FOI-1198-2021

Thank you again for your request received by us on 29 September 2020.

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. You asked:

Can you please share the maintenance record of traffic lights, over recent years, at the junction of Harvist Road and Chamberlain Road, Kensal Rise (NW6/NW10). This includes any bulb replacement within the ‘no right/no left turn’ signs attached to the traffic lights themselves.

Please find attached the fault log report for this junction. This shows all faults logged in our management system for the last five years.

Please note this also includes ‘switch outs’ which are not faults. This is when a third party requests that the traffic signals are switched out to allow for roadworks or something similar, which means they are not an indication of a fault at the junction. It also includes details of inspections. Faults that refer to the no right/no left turn signs are categorised as ‘Secret Signs’.

Attached are also annual maintenance check reports for this junction for the last five years.

Please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under Data Protection legislation some personal data has been removed, as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first principle which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’.

This exemption to the right of access to information is an absolute exemption and not subject to an assessment of whether the public interest favours use of the exemption.

If you are considering submitting a further FOI request please think carefully about whether the request is essential at this current time, as answering FOI requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. Where requests are made, please note that our response time may be impacted by the current situation.

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
