[snoggle]

Just spotted this interesting Mayor's Question and Answer

Colindale station
Question No: 2016/0410
Andrew
Dismore

With
the
over development
of
Colindale
continuing
apace,
it
is
now
paramount
that
local
infrastructure
meets
the
demands
of
residents.
What
are
the
current
plans
for
the
upgrade
of
Colindale
tube
station
and
when
will
they
happen?


Written response from the Mayor

There
are
active
plans
to
upgrade
Colindale
station
to
accommodate
the
additional
passengers
generated
by
the
planned
12,500
homes
and
500
jobs
in
this
area.
TfL
have
been
working
with
Barnet
Council
officers
to
realise
this
project
and
are
assembling
a
funding
package
of
£11.28m
including;
section
106
monies
from
the
Peel
Centre
 development,
£2.95m
from
Barnet
Council
and
£3.42m
from
TfL’s
Step
Free
Access
Partnership
Fund.



The
proposal
is
to
build
a
new
station
with
a
bigger
entrance
and
step
free
access
on
the
existing
station
car
park.
This
will
minimise
disruption.
The
aim
is
to
submit
a
planning
application
to
Barnet
Council
in
January
2017,
followed
by
detailed
design,
construction
and
completion
for
opening
in
summer
2019.
