Question
Vauxhall Station toilet closure (2)
Thank you to your officers for following up on my constituent’s request for a speedy repair following the extended closure of Vauxhall station’s toilet. In the letter dated 15 December, your office informed me that the repairs would begin 8 December 2023 and ‘take around four weeks to complete’, suggesting an expected completion date on or around 5 January 2024. However, the Vauxhall toilet remains closed as of 8 January. Could you tell me what is causing the continuing delay, and provide an accurate reopening date?
Answer
Transport for London (TfL) is pleased to report that the drainage specialists attended the night of 8 January 2024. The contractors were able to remove the blockages in the drainage that led to the toilets’ closure. After ensuring sufficient testing, along with the restoration of cleaning, inspection and maintenance regimes, the toilets reopened to members of the public on 15 January 2024. TfL has further enhanced its maintenance regime to help prevent a future closure. The toilets will remain open daily 7am to 9pm when there are station staff present to manage the facilities.
