Work on the œ70 million contract 105 of the Jubilee line
extension is being delayed by a group of angry mothers who believe
their children are in danger from contractors' vehicles.
Jubilee Line Extension (JLE) fears ground stabilisation work on the Bermondsey contract may have to be delayed until after the school summer holidays. The main contractor for the whole contract is a Aoki-Soletanche joint venture.
A JLE spokeswoman said: 'We would much rather continue with work now, as there are other areas which also need stabilising. But even if work was held up until September it should not affect the tunnelling start which is scheduled for April next year.'
Work on preparing a grout shaft for the London Bridge to Canada Water tunnels has been at a standstill since last Wednesday.
