Thames Water are planning to replace mains in West Norwood which could involve digging a trench down Norwood Road, from Palace Road to Robson Road, creating traffic havoc for many months.
The work is scheduled to begin in March 2019 however it is unlikely that all the necessary approvals and checks will have been made in time and May+ is more realistic. The work could take 3 – 6 months and possibly longer. In a worst case scenario buses will be diverted, two-way traffic staggered and pedestrians inconvenienced. There will also be a serious impact on local businesses.
Councillors in Thurlow Park and Knights Hill have organised a meeting at the Community Room in the West Norwood Library & Picturehouse on 30 January 2019 from 7pm to listen to residents' and businesses' views, and take your concerns to Thames Water and TfL.
