The Greenway – Sewer Decommissioning 13/05 to 17/05
Barhale working on behalf of Thames Water are returning to The Greenway for the final time to complete the decommissioning of the Sewer by filling it with concrete. The works will take place between Saturday 13/05 and Wednesday 17/05 and the Traffic Management will entail narrowing the width of the carriageway around the working area outside House Number 43 with Give Way Signage in place, but traffic flow will be maintained throughout the works.

Thames Water update
We are sorry for the delay in completing our work in the manhole on The Greenway. Our final piece of work outside no 43 will now start on Saturday 13 May, when we will put traffic management in place. The vehicle carrying concrete will again need to reverse up part of the road and will have two banksmen directing it at all times, it will give way to other vehicles. We will also be using a pump and be pouring more concrete into the manhole, the same as we did in March.

On Monday 15 and Tuesday 16 May, we will be carrying out the reinstatement of the area. We will be onsite between Saturday 13 May to Wednesday 17 May
Working hours Saturday 8am – 1pm Monday to Wednesday, 8am to 5.30pm

The road will remain open at all times, but as before it will be reduced to one lane for a short distance– give way signs will be in place. On road parking will be restricted in the immediate area but residents will be able to access their driveways at all times.
Footpaths on both sides of the road will remain open.
We will complete our work on Wednesday 17 May.

Greenway Sewer – Bellmouth Removal
Barhale working on behalf of Thames Water built a Bellmouth entrance off Ickenham Road by the Soldiers Return Pub in Dec 2021 to facilitate the Greenway Sewer works.
Barhale have now submitted a Permit to LBH to remove the Bellmouth between 24/04 & 12/05. LBH have approved the Permit, and the works are ongoing and should be complete by 12/05.

During the reinstatement of the area back to what was previously in place prior to these works, a Planter that was in place on the Footway will now be replaced by a Tree (at the request of the LBH Green Spaces Team). The remaining Kerb Line will be reinstated as previous, with new paving and tarmac also being installed.

The Traffic Management in place during these works is a Partial Footway Closure & Narrowing of the Lanes of both sides of the carriageway around the working area, but 3.5 metre width is being maintained in both Lanes so there is not expected to be any impact to traffic flow in this area.
