UPDATE: Boundary wall works

What we are doing

Boundary wall works update

We previously notified you of work to stabilise Wells House Road boundary wall, and we are writing to update you on when the footpath will reopen.

The stabilisation works have now been completed, with soil nails installed into the wall to help anchor the wall in the event of future movements. A structural membrane comprised of reinforced concrete has been applied to the face of the wall to provide additional support and protection from further deterioration.

We are keen to reopen the footpath as soon as possible. However, the team have re-assessed the wall and its interface with the footpath. The current finish to the face of the wall is temporary, the surface is coarse and uneven, and has various protruding drainage points. We are therefore installing a hoarding which will serve as a safety barrier between the wall and pedestrians using the footpath.

The new timber hoarding will follow the length of the wall. The height of the hoarding will vary according to the elevation of the wall however the height of the hoarding will not extend above the existing concrete finish. We anticipate that the hoarding will be in place until the final wall finishing, planned to be constructed during 2027.
