Twickenham Embankment enhancement consultation

This public consultation is closed. The results of the consultation are included in the cabinet report prepared for the cabinet meeting on 17 November. Members of the public may register to attend the cabinet meeting. Further details including a copy of the cabinet report can be found here.

The Council is pleased to announce that funding for the first phase of a two-phase scheme to enhance Twickenham Embankment has now been put in place, partly from the Council and partly from London’s Arcadia. London’s Arcadia is a body implementing the Thames Landscape Strategy in our area, mainly with Heritage Lottery Fund grants.

The aim of the scheme is not to change the way the embankment works, but rather to upgrade the existing outdated and deteriorating streetscape to create a more attractive space, with improved accessibility and safety.

Thw public consultation was for 3 weeks from 6 October to 24 October 2008. This included an exhibition of the plans at the Council Civic Centre. A letter has been distributed to all residents and businesses near to the embankment including Eel Pie Island.
