What we are doing

On 22 and 23 March 2023 we will be installing traffic management cameras in four locations in North Acton. The cameras will be installed onto existing lamp columns via a mobile platform from either a bus lane, cycle lane, pedestrian footway, or parking bay (location dependent).

The cameras will help us monitor lorry movements and ensure we keep within the levels agreed with the local authority. The system has been developed to monitor only those vehicles being used for HS2, and no information relating to other road users will be captured. The cameras will be in place for the duration of the HS2 works.

The installations will take place between 8am to 6pm and will take around two hours. We will use noise reducing barriers where possible to help minimise any noise disruption to the local community, working as efficiently as possible whilst keeping our work areas safe and tidy.

How this might affect you

To ensure the safety of the public and our staff, temporary changes will be in place at each installation location, detailed below:
