TfL Ref: FOI-3396-2223
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 14th March 2023 asking for information about the kerb at the Farringdon Road / Rosebery Avenue junction.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.
Specifically you asked:
“I am writing re. the continually damaged kerb and pavement, on the north corner of the junction of Farringdon Road and Rosebery Avenue, London EC1 (51°31'30.7"N 0°06'38.3"W).

2. The overall total spend on kerb / pavement works at this location, between 7/3/2021 and 14/3/2023.”
I am afraid that TfL does not hold the exact information requested. The works carried out at this time involved the removal of a tree and repairs to the kerb/pavement due to damage caused by heavy goods vehicles. However, these works are included as part of our overall core maintenance service with our Works for London contractors. This is paid as a fixed yearly lump sum covering a wide variety of works. We do not hold itemised costs for such specific work such as this.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely,
