Pathway works start at Paddington Recreation Ground from Friday 12 April
Westminster City Council working alongside Everyone Active and FM Conways are about to begin a phased programme of pathway works to :
- improve accessibility
- alleviate trip hazards
- reduce localised rainwater ponding, and
- undertake necessary repairs to the underground drains.
In order to carry out these works, certain areas will need to be closed to the public and the gates leading into the grounds will be closed in phases corresponding to the relevant pathway work. There will be some facility closures during these programme of works, please keep an eye out for notices, posters and social media posts to keep up to date.
As always our goal is to ensure that all our facilities are accessible and safe for all of our users. We will ensure that there is as little disruption to your experience as possible.
These are the phases to the works, please bear in mind that dates are subject to change due to weather conditions:
