As part of the consultation process Richmond Council has engaged with the local community and whilst the proposals were generally welcomed some concerns regarding Merthyr Terrace were raised. Local residents were concerned the parklet would potentially cause an increase in noise and anti-social behaviour.

On reflection Richmond Council would like the design updated to mitigate these concerns.

The new design is a series of raised planters with a screen / frame to allow for vertical greening. Bee and bug hotels can also be incorporated into the screen. Additional artwork can be either painted on the planters or colourful signage included within the structure of the framework. No seating elements are included. The existing trees could have feature lighting, subject to permissions, and a projected light could provide colour and patterns.

Overview

Please note: this consultation has now been extended until Sunday 7th January.

Castelnau Parade has been negatively impacted by the Hammersmith Bridge closure. The aim of this initiative is to:

  • create improvement to the public space;
  • enhance the community’s experience; and
  • encourage people to spend more time here.

The bigger picture is to encourage businesses to move into the area. The Parade can also be a hub for wider links – to Barnes Village, to the river towpath and become part of the wider art trails. All of which would encourage visitors to the Parade.

The consultation document here sets out the proposals for Castelnau Parade.
