“I have set up the meeting to catch up and establish timeframes of when they are starting and finishing, discussions around parking, when the works are taking place, what we can do to mitigate the impact on retailers.
“They have suggested they will move some of the materials by rail so this will have less of an impact on the roads.”
Cllr McKinlay also wants confirmation of Crossrail’s plans for Hunter Avenue car park as it will have a big impact on traders.
She said: “I want to know how much of the car park they will use and what impact it will have with the lorries coming through.”
She added: “I will ensure when there is information to share with residents and retailers, we will tell them.”
