Beckenham High Street Improvements Update

Work for week commencing 15 January 2018.

  • The High Street has now reverted back to one directional traffic north from Village Way to Beckenham Junction similar to prior the Christmas break. TFL have confirmed that information will be displayed on the bus stops accordingly. For more information, please visit tfl.gov.uk/TempBusChanges
  • Conway is currently working on the area between Yee Olde George Inn and Lidl. Works will comprise the removal and reinstatement of kerbing and changes to underground services. These works were originally programmed for November 2017 but have been delayed as resources were concentrated on Beckenham Green to ensure the completion of works for the community events held on the Green at the start of December. It is estimated that that works will take 4 weeks as there will be drainage works and the construction of parking bays
  • Between Thornton’s Corner and 116 High Street, on the opposite side of the street to Kelsey House, works will be undertaken in preparation for the installation of the considerable drainage required for this area historically subject to flooding. Due to the nature of the works this is likely to take 5 weeks subject to any unanticipated problems.
  • Car parking spaces in this location will have to be suspended during works for operational reasons. Conway and the Council are committed to maintaining as much car parking possible during works. Parking spaces will therefore not be suspended other than for necessary operational reasons.

Unfortunately Thames Water will be continuing works outside Kelsey Square until the 2nd February. These works have no connection to the improvement scheme. Outside of Beckenham Town Centre other Council departments may carry out essential works such as tree pruning or safety improvements to paving. These works are frequently carried by other contractors and not Conway. The project team therefore cannot be aware of all activities in the Beckenham area.
