As a part of our Borough wide programme to improve roads and pavements we will be carrying out footway maintenance works in Hill View Road, Twickenham. The works will generally consist of re-laying defective kerbs and footway surface repairs.
We also intend to widen the pavement on the southside of the road from the bridge to the junction of Moor Mead Road to allow for easier pedestrian access due to the tree roots which have caused the pavement to become uneven. These works will be carried out by our appointed contractor, F M Conway Ltd.
The works will start week commencing 15th September 2014, between 8am and 5pm and are expected to be completed within 11 weeks.
In order to facilitate the above works it will be necessary to impose some temporary parking restrictions in the road. The restricted length will be adequately marked with high visibility cones. Please do not park in ‘No Waiting’ coned area as parked vehicles can delay the progress and incur additional costs to the Council.

What is the status of Moormead Park? What is its relationship to Hillview Road?
What is your opinion about the conversion of the 1m strip from park to pavement?
Too small to matter? Good for the health and safety of pedestrians? Encroachment into park land?
Hmm, that's a lot of questions. A couple more for good measure. Is this LBRUT Transport and Streets dept. or LBRUT Parks and Open Spaces dept. doing this? Are the Friends of Orleans Park aware?
Interested to hear from others. Thanks to StMgrts.org for bringing it to my attention.
