Twickenham Riverside Regeneration (Jubilee Gardens)

Cabinet select Countryside Properties scheme

The three schemes submitted to the Council in response to its Invitation to Tender were considered by the Cabinet at its meeting on 27 April.

A report to the meeting provided a detailed evaluation of the three schemes and, having considered it and received direct representations from ten speakers, Cabinet decided that the scheme submitted by Countryside Properties best met the Council’s development brief and should be taken forward.

The Cabinet decision was subject to scrutiny by the Co-ordination, Finance and Performance Commission at a meeting on 2 June when the Cabinet decision was noted without change.

Next steps

With the selection of the Countryside design, work has begun on completing their appointment, finalising the development agreement and preparing the planning application for the detailed scheme.  Planning approval is hoped for towards the end of the year and a start on site early in 2010.

Riverside Café and playground

The lease for the café on the Riverside site expired on 16 June. Following a short period of closure for refurbishment, a new café run by Power Employment, the council’s service for adults with learning difficulties, will open early in July. Both the café and the adjacent playground will remain open until construction works commence early in 2010.
