The Council of the LBWF HEREBY GIVES NOTICE that it intends on making an Order to enable water infrastructure works, by MG Group on behalf of Thames Water Utilities, to be carried out in a safe and efficient manner in various roads within the borough.

b) Ashley Rd E4 – from its junction with Westward Rd southwards to the common boundary of Nos. 5 and 7.
Any designated controlled parking spaces situated in the roads or parts of roads affected by any of the measures set out above will be suspended.
Vehicular access to properties affected by these temporary measures will be maintained wherever possible, subject to the extent and operation of the closures.
Whilst the prohibitions referred to above remain in force, advance warning signage and alternative routes for traffic shall be in place. Vehicles waiting or loading in disregard of the Order would be removed.
The restrictions mentioned above would not apply in relation to any vehicle being used:
(a) in connection with the said works; or
(b) for ambulance, fire brigade or police purposes (if the works allow).
The Order would come into operation on 11th December 2025 and would be valid for a maximum period of 6 months or until the works are completed, whichever is the sooner (ref: TTSdalb425)
