Virgin Media shows blatant disregard for road users

The MayorWatch site reports Transport for London has begun prosecution proceedings against Virgin Media (one of its own major sponsors) for carrying out roadworks unsafely in Sutton last October.

Virgin Media has already received a £14,300 fine this year for "endangering the lives of residents and motorists" when work was carried out in breach of safety rules in Richmond.

Caroline Pidgeon said:

“Virgin Media are testing the patience of Londoners by their blatant disregard for road users. Their actions have now caused totally unnecessary disruption in both Sutton and Richmond.”

“I welcome Transport for London’s prosecution of Virgin Media but if their behaviour does not quickly change it might well be necessary for further sanctions to be considered, including the ultimate option of TfL dropping Virgin Media as a partner organisation.”
