Construction of Maidstone Road Public Space Improvements Project

Following approval of the project, construction works will commence at the Warwick Road and Maidstone Road / Warwick Road junction in January 2024 to deliver the Maidstone Road Public Space Improvements project.

The Maidstone Road / Warwick Road junction and Warwick Road itself at the existing modal filter will be closed at times during the construction period. The construction will be divided in three phases and will occur over approximately 16 weeks.

Phase 1 will start on Monday 15 January 2024 and will last for approximately 7 weeks. Warwick Road will be closed between Tewkesbury Terrace and the junction with Maidstone Road impacting vehicles which are authorised to drive through the modal filter on Warwick Road (BOW permit holders, Dial-A-Ride vehicles and emergency services). Residents in the area have been notified of the works by letter.

The works on Warwick Road will involve constructing buildouts that feature rain gardens on both sides of the current modal filter.

We will send residents further letters with information on phases 2 and 3 of the construction confirming the dates and diversion routes closer to the time. We understand that construction works of this nature can cause some disruption and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. We and our contractor work hard to ensure that disruption is minimised where possible whilst the works are undertaken. We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.
