Work for week commencing 22 January 2018 from Conway and LB Bromley
Beckenham Improvements work update
- 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 continuing to work on the area between the Yee Olde George Inn and Lidl. Excavation works have been completed and the concrete foundations have been laid. The laying of new kerbs will commence next week. It is estimated that that works will take 3 further weeks subject to unanticipated problems.
- Between Thornton’s Corner and 116 High Street (on the other side of the road). The considerable drainage required for this area due to its history of flooding has been completed in the first section. The concrete foundations for the parking bays have been commenced. Kerbing has commenced. Next week paving will commence on the kerb side.
Due to the nature of the works this is likely to take a further 4 weeks subject to any unanticipated problems. It is a particularly difficult area requiring underground infrastructures that not required elsewhere in the scheme. In order for the works to be completed as soon as possible the cooperation of local businesses would be welcomed. It should be remembered that the area is a building site and like any building site there will be disruption during works.
- 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 as possible during works. Parking spaces will therefore not be suspended other than for necessary operational reasons.
For Reference
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.
