Bassam Mahfouz, Assembly Member for Ealing and Hillingdon, is celebrating a win for local residents as the long-anticipated works to the forecourt at West Drayton Station officially concluded on Friday. The works were addressing the collapsed sewer and bus access issues on Station Approach, and their completion marks a significant milestone in improving access and connectivity for local residents, businesses, and commuters.

The project, which Assembly Member Mahfouz has closely monitored and championed since his election in May, included extensive road resurfacing, drainage repairs, and safety upgrades to enhance pedestrian access. Mahfouz has raised the importance of this project with the Mayor of London, TfL, and Network Rail, asking questions about its timeline and funding to ensure accountability.

The completed works include:
• Full resurfacing of Station Approach with improved drainage systems.
• Enhanced access for pedestrians and vehicles, ensuring the station is more welcoming and functional.
The forecourt improvements address long-standing concerns raised by residents and local businesses. Assembly Member Mahfouz has consistently pushed for the project to remain on schedule and ensure minimal disruption.

Bassam Mahfouz, London Assembly Member for Ealing and Hillingdon said:

“After months of disruption and hard work, residents can now benefit from a safer, more accessible station forecourt. I have been pressing Network Rail to ensure these improvements were delivered, and I’m thrilled to see this project finally completed, having seen the TfL works completed months ago.”

“These latest improvements from Network Rail will have a lasting impact on how people travel to and from West Drayton Station, and I will now continue to push TfL for the reinstatement of bus services to the station forecourt, which will significantly improve accessibility and connectivity for commuters,” Mahfouz added.
