We are proposing to use our existing pumping station and adjacent disused toilet block for construction work and to accommodate permanent structures required to operate the main tunnel. The site would be used to connect the existing local CSO, known as the Falconbrook Pumping Station CSO, to the main tunnel.
The location of the site is shown below. York Gardens, a local park is adjacent to the site, beyond which, to the east, is the Winstanley Estate. York Gardens Library and Community Centre are to the south with York Gardens Adventure Playground, which incorporates the One O’clock Club, to the north. To the west is York Road (A3205).
Falconbrook Pumping Station is our preferred site to intercept Falconbrook Pumping Station CSO because it would cause less disruption to the wider local community in comparison to the other shortlisted sites and would potentially provide an improved public space after our works are complete. We also own most of the site unlike Bridges Court Car Park.
