I spoke to two of the men but their English was poor and we were unable to communicate clearly, they certainly had no idea who Jean Charles de Menezes was or the upset this was going to cause. They shrugged, laughed and carried on with their work. I went inside and spoke to TfL staff but they were indifferent and refused to intervene with the workmen.

I have emailed via their complaints website the TfL head office but have had no response as yet. One of my colleagues passed about 10 minutes ago and he reported there is now a temporary building structure in front of the area to the left of the main entrance covering the memorial and surrounding wall.

I would request others contact TfL and voice a complaint to ensure the memorial is returned to its original state, there is a webpage address below with details of how to do that.
