What we are doing

We have now completed our works on the Wormwood Scrubs Stamford Brook Sewer site, and we are now preparing to hand this area back to the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.

We are working with the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham to finalise the legal hand back of the Stamford Brook Sewer site on Wormwood Scrubs. This is due to take place in August 2023.

The site is currently surrounded by metal heras fencing. Before removing the fence, we will need to trim back the grass as it has grown over the concrete feet. We will also use this opportunity to carry out maintenance of the fences around the triangle site which is remaining in place for future works.

The areas to be trimmed will be kept to an absolute minimum. We will be using brush cutters and strimmers to carry out this work. The preparation for legal hand back, including the grass trimming and fence removal is due to take place from 17 July until early September.

For the removal of the fence to take place, we will need to cut the grass on the existing maintenance tracks so that the vehicles and trailers will be able to gain access to carry out the works. An ecologist will be on site at all times when the grass is being cut, to ensure no wildlife is harmed.

All the grass trimming works will be authorised by an ecologist who will be supervising the works.
