14 Apr Talgarth Road Green Quiet Route
Plans to redevelop a largely neglected area of land sandwiched between the Hammersmith flyover and the Novotel London West are progressing well.
This area in Talgarth Road acts as a gateway to Hammersmith from the eastern end near Barons Court and runs parallel with the main Hammersmith Road.
Visitors and cyclists traverse the area regularly but it is clearly in a state of disrepair.
Plans have been put together using funding from LBHF, the BID, DEFRA and the GLA to regenerate this area into a new green corridor that will have improved appearance and functionality. The aims of the scheme will be to improve the sustainable drainage of the area possibly with Stockholm tree pits to attenuate more water, air quality enhancements and improved biodiversity for a green corridor that will have a positive impact on health and wellbeing for its visitors.
A topographical survey has been completed and a plan to move the cycle path along the road is being worked on.
Companies have been asked to take all these factors into consideration and we expect designs and plans to be submitted shortly.
