The King George’s Park site encompasses a small part of the northern end of the park, adjacent to the entrance from Buckhold Road and the junction of Buckhold Road and Neville Gill Close. The site will be used to connect the existing Frogmore Storm Relief–Buckhold Road combined sewer overflow, to the main tunnel via the Frogmore connection tunnel.
King George’s Park
At King George's Park, the site team are preparing to receive Charlotte, our Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), which will happen around autumn 2019. Once Charlotte arrives, she will be driven back to Dormay Street.
The team recently completed a concrete pour in the Interception Chamber and the Valve Chamber.
In July 2019, part of the hoarding has been removed from Neville Gill Close so the site team are able to start the kiosk construction.
For more information, look at the latest CLWG presentation on the tab below.

The site area will be returned to public use as soon as practicable, including potential phasing
