Call from local Lib Dems to clean up ‘health hazard’ bridge

Network Rail and TfL are being urged to clean up a railway bridge underpass which is said to be creating a “health hazard” for residents. Local people say that the underpass is “absolutely disgusting” as the drains are full and nesting pigeons leave behind droppings.

Lib Dem Councillor for Alexandra Park, Alessandra Rossetti, who has been pushing for action said:
“It is shocking to me that years of neglect and a failure to take responsibility by multiple organisations have transformed a simple case of disrepair into a health hazard for residents. It isn’t right that people in the area are having to suffer the consequences of this neglect. 

“However, the chance to improve things for local people is still there. It is time for all stakeholders to stop shifting responsibility, pull together to address pigeons roosting, stop the leak, work on piping the drains and ensure proper maintenance of the footpath. Now is the time to take action.”
