ALL BRANCHES

REGIONAL COUNCILS

 

Dear Colleague

 

TfL – FACILITIES, STRUCTURES AND HEALTH & SAFETY

 

Your London Transport Regional Council submitted the following resolution:

 

This branch notes the report published on 12th October 2024 and is seriously concerned with TFL’s unmanaged decay of the company’s facilities and structures. The day-to-day remedial repair management of our depots, accommodation and buildings are at an all-time low level of reaching Health, Safety and Welfare standards.

 

Many structures have leaking roofs, ceiling and wall structural issues and unacceptable conditions to work and be based at. A large percentage of the issues have been outstanding for years.

This branch calls on our regional council:

 

● To support and organise a demonstration outside Palestra to highlight the conditions

their staff have to work in.

● Head office to publish the demo and concerns with the media.

● Call for the GS to arrange an urgent meeting with the mayor to raise our concerns.

 

At its meeting on 12^th December 2024 your NEC noted and adopted the following report from its health and safety subcommittee:

 

We note the resolution form the London Transport Regional Council, for which it is thanked.

 

The General Secretary is instructed to seek a report from the lead officer in order to establish exactly where we are in the machinery, in order for a campaign to be built. The General Secretary is further instructed to request that the regional council forward any information and/or images to the lead officer to supplement his report.

 

Relevant branches and regional councils to be informed.

 

I am acting in line with these instructions. 

            

Please bring this circular to the attention of relevant members.

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

 

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
