CROSSRAIL DEPOT IN ROMFORD

That this House deeply regrets the decision of Crossrail London Rail Links Ltd., who, with support from the Government, are planning to build a large depot in central Romford to service trains intended to operate on the proposed Crossrail network; believes that this decision is ill thought out and has not taken into consideration the negative effect that the development and subsequent use of this depot will have on the quality of life of those who live in the surrounding area, the environment, loss of open spaces and playing fields; and therefore urges both the Government and Crossrail to rethink their proposed location for the depot and choose a site that will cause less disruption to the lives of local residents in Romford.

As an Amendment to Rosindell, Andrew's proposed Motion (CROSSRAIL DEPOT IN ROMFORD):

leave out from `House' to end and insert `notes the concern expressed by local residents in Romford about the Crossrail depot proposed for that area; further notes that the location is a brownfield site already owned by Network Rail; commends Cross London Rail Links Ltd for its extensive dialogue with affected residents; and urges the company, residents and local politicians to work together to achieve a solution that ensures this essential infrastructure project is realised as soon as possible.'.
