As Tideway finishes work in King George’s Park, we will hand over sections of land to Wandsworth Council. The first section of land that will open up to the public is anticipated to include the area of new planting, avenue of trees and new entrance way to the park.

Surfacing works within the egg-shaped area of hard landscaping at Tideway’s site at King George’s Park are taking place. This work is to lay a block paving surface that will capture surface water and discharge it into the new Sustainable Urban Drainage (SUDs) retention area within the park. The work taking place includes:

• laying of paving blocks
• cutting of some blocks to enable the correct installation
• lifting of equipment and movement of materials

The egg-shaped area will be required by Tideway until 2025. It will not be publicly accessible and will continue to be hoarded off is so that we can undertake testing of the sewer system. Once our testing work is completed this area will also be opened up to the public.

If you have any questions about the project or our work at King George's Park then please get in touch with our helpdesk on 08000 30 80 80 or [email protected]

Our standard working hours are:

• Hoarding has been erected along the site boundary
• The contractor is protecting the trees, in particular the Black Poplar tree along the boundary with Neville Gill Close and the Red Oak tree at the northern edge of the park
• The site area will be returned to public use as soon as practicable, including potential phased opening
• Set limits to control activities, such as noise (Section 61 approval) from London Borough of Wandsworth
