Our Ref:         FOI-3960-1920 / FOI-3961-1920

Thank you for your request received on 30 March 2020 asking for information about the Better Junctions and Safer Junctions programmes.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm we do hold the information you require. You asked:

Please say which Better Junctions have been subject to post imp review?

As previously advised, we have made improvements to 18 of the junctions included in the Better Junction programme. We have carried out a Safety Audit (post scheme completion) on the following junctions:

•         Stratford Gyratory
•         Highbury Corner
•         Aldgate Gyratory
•         Apex (Shoreditch)
•         Blackfriars
•         Lancaster Gate
•         Parliament Square
•         Tower Gateway
•         Archway
•         Westminster Bridge South
•         Spur Road
•         Bow Roundabout Interim Scheme
•         Vauxhall (improvements as part of CS5, rather than the main Vauxhall Gyratory scheme)
•         Kings Cross
•         Camberwell New Road (Oval)
•         Stockwell
•         Elephant and Castle Northern Roundabout

In addition to this, the Jamaica Road/Rotherhithe scheme is recently completed, and as such a post completion safety audit has not yet taken place but a site visit has been conducted to check the works are complete.

Please could you say which 32 junctions of the 73 Safer Junctions have in your view been completed?

Please note, the Government has announced a series of measures to tackle the coronavirus. It is essential for London, and in particular for all critical workers, that we continue to provide a safe transport network that enables them to make the journeys they need to.

In current circumstances, we are not able to answer FOI requests readily and we ask that you please do not make a request to us at present.

Answering FOI requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. In any event, please note that our response time will be affected by the current situation.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely
