What we are doing
We wrote to you in June to let you know that as part of our works to install monitoring equipment we will be carrying out vegetation clearance near Wells House Road from 10 July to 1 August 2025. This equipment will allow us to monitor the area before, during and after building Old Oak Common Tunnel.
Due to contractor availability, these works will now take place between 7 July to 1 August 2025.
From 7 to 25 July 2025, we will trim low-level vegetation next to the railway tracks behind 157 to 167 Wells House Road and Kildun Court. We will also build the concrete base for the monitoring equipment behind 163 Wells House Road on Network Rail land.
From 28 July to 1 August 2025, we will install monitoring equipment on the concrete base. The monitoring equipment will be over 2.5 metres in height to see over fencing and vegetation.
The vegetation clearance and installation of monitoring equipment will take place during daytime hours from 8am to 6pm.
We’ll deliver equipment and remove waste overnight between 8pm and 4am at the Network Rail entrance on Old Oak Common Lane.
