What we are doing
We want to inform you that from 26 February we will be carrying out vegetation clearance on a section of Wormwood Scrubs, adjacent to Old Oak Common Lane. This area is being cleared so that UK Power Network (UKPN) can carry out vital cable diversions required for the construction of Old Oak Common Station. The clearance will include the removal of one tree and some shrubs that obstruct the cable route.
An ecological survey has been conducted, and an environmental officer will oversee the work to ensure environmental compliance.
From 27 February until 24 March, a southbound lane closure will be in place to allow UKPN to conduct trial hole surveys. These surveys will allow UKPN to assess the ground conditions so that cabling work can occur safely. UKPN have advised that they will operate temporary traffic lights in this area.
