FOI Request – A40 Roadworks

Thank you for your letter received on 6 August 2019 asking for information about roadworks that were taking place on the A40.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy.

We do not hold the information you have requested. There were no TfL works carried out on 20 September. There was an emergency lane closure on 19 September for a gully repair and night time block closures that week but none of these works would have incorporated an alteration to the speed limit as a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) would have been required and none were issued during that time.

If you have any further details regarding the works and their location, i.e. a nearby junction, then we may be able to investigate further.

Please accept our apologies that we are unable to assist you further on this occasion. Please see the enclosed information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely

Gemma Jacob
