Security and traffic management

The regeneration of Friary Park will be carried out in three phases. Below we’ve put together a computer-generated image, showing you the demolition area for phase 1A in red, which is now complete.

Along Friary Road at the top you can see two yellow circles, these are the construction vehicle entrance and exit points. The blue circles further along Friary Road show the resident vehicle and pedestrian entry and exit points. Public vehicle access to Friary Park is on Friary Road through Joseph Avenue. Pedestrian access is through Joseph Avenue and on Friary Road opposite Friars Green.

Along Joseph Avenue you can see a red truck, this shows you where the emergency vehicle entrance to the site is. At the bottom of the image is a yellow box between the houses on Emanuel Avenue, this is the welfare office for site operatives.

Traffic management

During the regeneration work, there will be a clear traffic management plan in place:

- There are 2 traffic marshals, who are part of the on-site team. The number of traffic marshals will increase as site traffic increases. Their job is to control and limit site traffic

- Traffic marshals use an online booking system, meaning that all vehicles will need to book a timed slot 48 hours before arriving to site. This means that we can control the number of vehicles on the surrounding roads, ensuring deliveries can enter the site on time and not congest the surrounding area.

- Construction vehicle access and exit routes are for construction use only and are not open to the public or those living on the estate, minimising risk to pedestrians and ensuring construction vehicles are not causing traffic within other parts of Friary Park

- We have created a one way system for site traffic. Using a one way system allows the traffic marshals to control and limit site traffic, as well as limiting risk to pedestrians as they are not using the same access points. Two diagrams below show the entrance and exit points in more detail

Vehicles enter by the gate that has been built between The Drive and Joseph Avenue. The route into the site is shown by the green arrows. This image is looking at Friary Park from the railway line side of Friary Road. Acton Mainline station would be to the right of the image, and Friars Green to the left.

Vehicles exit along the drive and out on to Friary Road. This system will be in place once the haul road within the site boundary is complete.

Security

- All vehicles are inspected as safe before leaving the site

- security guards have been employed to patrol the site perimeter 24 hours a day. This ensures that the construction area remains secure.
