FOI request detail

Camden Road (a TfL controlled road) and potential improvements.

Request ID: FOI-1385-1718
Date published: 05 October 2017

You asked

Dear Transport for London, Can you please send to me the dates of any meetings you have held during 2017 with: * Camden Borough Council * Islington Borough Council in regard of Camden Road (a TfL controlled road) and potential improvements. You can restrict the search to the most relevant section of TfL, for instance that deals with road redesigns for cycling. If the search still appears to be too onerous and beyond cost / time limits, please reduce the period so that it can be completed. I understand that the content of any such meetings is likely to fall within the scope of “policy formulation” exemptions from FoI, which is why I am asking for dates rather than documents associated with any such meetings. However, whether or not plans exist, and to what extent they are being actively considered, is a matter of public interest, especially following the recent death of Ardian Zagani on this stretch of road. Furthermore, knowledge that discussions have or have not taken place should not impact on TfL and the council’s freedom to conduct future discussions in a private and unrestricted manner.
