Request ID: FOI-3334-2223 Date published: 21 March 2023
You asked
Dear Transport for London,
The GLA Side Roads (London Borough of Hackney) Designation Order 2000 does not designate Woodberry Grove (off the A503 / Seven Sisters Road) as a GLA side road. It therefore seems plausible that TFL and the Mayor of Lonodn must have made a further designation order to designate Woodberry Grove as a GLA side road, because the first 48 yards or so of Woodberry Grove are a red route.
Under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004, I hereby request any and all records that document that Woodberry Grove is designated as a GLA side road, including (but not limited to) any designations orders made which alter The GLA Side Roads (London Borough of Hackney) Designation Order 2000.
Please could all documents be provided in PDF format, with searchable / selectable text, inclusive of all schedules, and with no redactions please.

Please see the attached Orders as requested. Specifically please see pages 59, 60 and 144 of the GLA 2007 425 Order where Woodberry Grove is referred to and the 2007 GLA side road designation Order for the London Borough of Hackney, the items for Woodberry Grove can be found on page 52. Also attached are the signed declaration from LB Hackney and the Mayoral approval decision document.
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’.
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.
