What we are doing
We planned to carry out vegetation clearance and monitoring near Wells House Road, Old Oak Common between 12 to 15 March. (please see this notification)
These works have been rescheduled and will now take place from 24 to 28 March 2025. The monitoring installation may take place the following week from 31 March depending on the progress of the vegetation clearance and be limited to a 1-day activity.
We will trim low-level vegetation next to the railway tracks behind Wells House Road (157, 159, 161, 163, 165, 167) and Kildun Court. We’ll also install monitoring equipment behind 163 Wells House Road, Old Oak Common. These works will take place during daytime hours from 8am to 6pm.
The monitoring equipment will allow us to monitor the area before, during and after building Old Oak Common Tunnel. The removal of the low-level vegetation is required to ensure that a line of sight is maintained between our sets of monitoring equipment.
You might notice noise from the handheld strimmer used to carry out devegetation and an increased staff presence installing the monitoring equipment. The installation of the monitoring equipment will need anchors to be fixed to a concrete base and you might notice noise from a drill for the short duration of these works.
