Plans for a £3.4m pioneering flood alleviation scheme in Herne Hill have been announced by Southwark Council.
The £3.4m pilot scheme is being funded by the Environment Agency (EA) and Thames Water (TW) and will see flood management measures put in place in Belair Park, Southwark Community Sports Grounds, Turney Road and Dulwich Park.
The scheme provides an innovative model which the EA and TW hope to adopt and promote across the country following successful delivery.
The design proposals involve the construction of above and below ground storage to capture overland flow during periods of heavy rainfall. Whilst on the Turney Road site there are plans to introduce kerbside drainage and additional pipe work to route local surface water to the storage facility in the sports ground.

Consultation with local groups in Dulwich and Herne Hill is starting. See the following presentation from the Southwark Flood Risk and Drainage team who gave a talk at the Turney Road Residents’ Association on 12 October 2013. Turney Road TRA Presentation_Dulwich 12-10-13
