OREANDA-NEWS. The company, which owns and operates Britain’s railway infrastructure, is planning a multi-million pound refurbishment of a series of arches along Atlantic Road and Brixton Station Road that are in desperate need of some basic TLC.

A spokesman said: “We all want the same thing – a vibrant, thriving business area that maintains the uniqueness of this area.

“These arches are in desperate need of some basic TLC. We want to take the best of what’s currently there and make it even better.

“Network Rail recognises that we have to look after our current tenants. They will be given the opportunity to come back, the company will help identify new or temporary premises and will also help with expenses

“The new premises will have rents that are fair and are set at or below the market rate for this area. It is in no-one’s interest to have empty premises.”

Network Rail will not be starting this improvement and investment project until the New Year to ensure that its tenants are able to take advantage of the coming Christmas

The company will be putting a planning application in for the arches later this Spring and will not be giving notice to tenants until later this year.
