'One' Railway: Station action promised

With a commitment to getting action to improve Chadwell Heath Train Station, Wilson Chowdhry and Cllr Balvinder Saund organised for the Manager of 'One' Railway to inspect Chadwell Heath Station. Following on from this meeting, ‘One’ have promised the following action points: -

- The ticket office will be closed from 19:40 - 06:10; with the only access to the station being the side alleyway between these hours. This will ensure the ticket hall is kept safe and secure


- Station soft refurbishment will be implemented asap and will last two weeks (this will include brick work / paint / wood varnishing etc)


- Ash trays for the front of 'One' rail stations will be rolled out over the next two weeks


- Security agents for the stations requested - this requirement will be assessed against data around incidents [if residents have any information on incidents they are requested to let us know].


- Wire mesh under the stairs to prevent access


- Covered heated seating area to be looked at by ‘One’

Labour will continue to monitor the station and ensure that the hard working community of Chadwell get a decent train station for there money. NOTE: Cllr Balvinder Saund is the Labour candidate for Redbridge and Havering in the forthcoming GLA elections, her election will ensure that Labour can tackle the real issues that matter to you.
