Meridian Water and Enfield Bus Reviews

The request was partially successful.

Dear Transport for London,

After past FOI Requests, I got a confirmation that there will be a review within the borough of Enfield and Meridian Water.

Will it be possible to give a possible confirmation date on when will the review take place and when should it be completed?

Yours faithfully,

Sean Cirillo

Dear Sean Cirillo

 

Our ref: FOI-0970-2122/GH

 

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 9
August 2021 asking for information about key stakeholders for Meridian
Water.

 

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that
we do hold the information you require.

 

The key stakeholders in question are LB Enfield and developers of the
Meridian Water site. The review of the local bus network will include
engagement with those parties rather than 'consultation'.

TfL will undertake public consultation on any structural changes to the
bus network proposed as an outcome of the review.

to contact me.

Dear FOI,

In response to the information I had received and confirmed that " Enfield Council and the developers of Meridian Water will be consulted ". Would I ask on why Harringay or Waltham Forest Councils are not going to be consulted within the review despite the boroughs being neighboring to the development?

Yours sincerely,

Sean Cirillo

Dear FOI,

In relation to the responses received that only Enfield Council aswell the developments are the only parties to be consulted for the Meridian Water Bus Review. I request the following information :

1. The decision on why Waltham Forest and Harringay Councils are to not be consulted for the Meridian Water Bus Review.

2. Will the LB Enfield hold the decision on where the bus routes will link to?

Yours sincerely,

Sean Cirillo

Dear Transport for London,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Transport for London's handling of my FOI request 'Meridian Water and Enfield Bus Reviews'.

TFL has not responded to my request on information regarding the decision to consult with specific stakeholders. This has long been over 20 days over the limit required to reply. From this I am requesting a internal review to this.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/m...

Yours faithfully,

Sean Cirillo

Dear Mr Cirillo

Thank you for your email. As your enquiry of the 23 August was not a request for recorded information and instead required a response with an explanation or opinion it did not fall within the scope of the FOIA and therefore was not taken forward under our process or an acknowledgement sent to you.

We immediately passed your enquiry to TfL's Customer Service Team to provide you with a direct response. Please accept our apologies that they have yet to contact you.

I have again forwarded you query and complaint to them today.

Kind regards

Our specialist team for FOI has forwarded me your enquiry; I appreciate the time you've taken to
contact us.

I understand your interest in this major new housing development. However, I need to stress that the
London Borough of Enfield is coordinating all the planning for the site. This means that they will
consult with us and with neighbouring councils over the construction of public transport links for
the new homes.

Enfield Council will be able to tell you more about how they’ve involved the London Boroughs of
Haringey and Waltham Forest in the decision making, You can contact Enfield's project team directly
at:

Dear Mr Cirillo

 

TfL Ref: 1335-2122

 

Thank you for your request received by us on 21 September 2021 asking for
information about the consultation for the Meridian Water Bus Review,
following your previous request for information (reference:0970-2122)

 

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

 

In relation to the responses received that only Enfield Council aswell the
developments are the only parties to be consulted for the Meridian Water
Bus Review.  I request the following information :

 

1. The decision on why Waltham Forest and Harringay Councils are to not be
consulted for the Meridian Water Bus Review.

 

We can advise that the local authorities of Waltham Forest and Haringey
will be included in any wider stakeholder discussions on the Meridian
Water Bus Review.

 

2. Will the LB Enfield hold the decision on where the bus routes will link
to?

 

Whilst Transport for London (TfL) will work with the London Borough of
Enfield, ultimately it would be for TfL to make the final decision on any
changes to the bus network.
