Dear Resident,

We continue to make great progress on-site at Bermondsey. We are working hard to minimise disruption to our neighbours and appreciate your patience as we continue work to deliver the new homes, shops, and public spaces for Bermondsey.

We are also delighted to announce we will be supporting Cherry Gardens TRA in their creation of a musical play and their ongoing heritage work into Bermondsey’s rich history. For more information, please visit https://www.cherrygardentra.com/.

We continue to actively monitor construction vehicle movements to ensure the safety of all road users, including all measures we previously put in place to minimise the transfer of dust and mud to the surrounding roads. Daily noise and vibration readings continue to be taken and monitored to ensure environmental control limits are adhered to.

CONSTRUCTION WORKING HOURS

We are committed to being a considerate neighbour and will be working hard to ensure that any disruption caused by our construction work is kept to a minimum. Our usual construction working hours are as follows:

8am to 6pm, Weekdays

9am to 2pm, Saturdays

We will continue to endeavour to provide advanced notice of any upcoming out of hours works if required in the future.

UPCOMING WORKS

In order to continue progress on site and install vital infrastructure to service the future homes, there are some upcoming activities that may impact local traffic.

Drummond Road District Heat Network Connections; Through coordination with Southwark these have been postponed due to other works being done in the area not associated with our scheme. They are now replanned to commence on 6th May with two road closures of three weeks in two sections to prevent disruption locally.

We will have further road closures on Clements Road in the coming months which are currently being coordinated with Southwark.

We are continuing to coordinate with Thames Water who are working in the area to ensure collaborative working to minimise local highways disruption.

We have now completed UK Power Solutions bringing power to our site from Verney Road and now only have works local to our site to complete.

Construction works are continuing on the both the old school site with superstructure works now all complete. The old school site brickwork facade and windows are nearing completion on Building 5 and progressing elsewhere. The first homes remain on target to be ready in September 2025.

Strengthening works on the retained structure and foundations of the Old Packing Factory (Building F) are now complete at ground floor, with just first and second floor to complete in the period. The new steel transfer deck is progressing and will allow the RC concrete frame to commence at the end of May.

Superstructure works are progressing well on all building on the Biscuit Factory Site. The concrete cores on ST continue to progress ahead of the frame and the finished facade is now visible. DE concrete frame to the office is complete and the residential floors are now progressing at pace.

Pavement works around the Charter School are being coordinated with the school and Southwark Council to complete in the most suitable holiday period. We are hopeful this will be the May half term.
