You may recall that we consulted with residents and businesses in the area on the Forest Gate Crossrail scheme towards the end of last year. Since that time, the scheme has now gone through various stages of design and a number of approval processes.
We are fast approaching the implementation of the scheme (during the early part of next year). As an update for local stakeholders, officers have drafted a letter and prepared a plan for distribution to local residents and businesses.
