Last month I met with Michele Dix, the Managing Director of Crossrail 2, and I asked for details of the next steps and when they plan to report back on the consultation.
I made the case once again that disruption must be kept to an absolute minimum and that other route options must be fully considered. I was pleased to hear that Crossrail 2 are now undertaking feasibility work on a number of alternative options.
Crossrail 2 are also currently analysing the 20,000 consultation responses and aim to produce a report of the consultation in March. This will set out the issues raised by respondents and I will meet directly with Michele soon after this is published to discuss it.
They will then re-assess their proposals in the light of the consultation responses and aim to report back on this in late spring. This will then lead to a further round of consultation, hopefully at the end of the summer, at which point I will hold another public meeting.
I will continue to work tirelessly to secure a route that works for Wimbledon and will continue to keep residents updated.
