Public meeting about the flood alleviation scheme:

WHEN: 5.30pm TODAY Thursday 9th May
WHERE: St. Peter's Church Hall, 59 Elgin Avenue, London, W9 2DB (modern brick building, corner of Elgin Ave. and Chippenham Rd.)

PLEASE COME!!

Those affected by the flooding are delighted that OFWAT has approved the the £17m funding required for Thames Water to install flood relief tanks under 2 local parks to prevent recurrence, like they did in Counters Creek and Bayswater. 

Residents near Tamplin Mews Gardens are concerned about the long term effect on our park, and why the flood-relief tanks must be located there, as opposed to under the open space near the P.O. in Chippenham Gardens. The temporary loss of access to half the park for 9 months is regrettable, but it is only temporary and it will prevent the ongoing misery of sewage flooding for hundreds of homes and businesses from Fernhead Rd. to Little Venice.

Our priority now is to ensure that Thames Water addresses residents' concerns about the scheme and - if it must be located under the park - ensures that there is clear agreement with both Thames Water and Westminster Council on restoring the park properly afterwards - complete with hills, hedges and daffodils.


Most important of all is that the scheme goes ahead - so please come and show your support!
