Nash Ali, Labour's leader the borough of Camden said: "The borough of Camden, from Tottenham Ct Road up to Hampstead and Kentish Town, will be disproportionately hit on weekends. It may have a massive impact on the Lock market, one of London's largest tourist attractions and a source of local jobs and trade."

"This plan seems designed to protect the shareholders of Tubelines, rather than the interests of travelling Londonders. I urge Camden Council to make immediate representations on this and take action, just like it did when private companies wanted the Channel Tunnel works to go 24hrs after similar contract slippage."

We, the undersigned, agree that Camden Council should make immediate and urgent representations to Transport for London and Tubelines.
