- Drainage grids will be laid on both sides of the Turney carriageway between the bridge and the sports ground (approx. 82-100/108 and 29-55 Turney). An additional traffic table/hump will be laid in front of the sports fields gates. One side of the carriageway will be closed during this work.
- NEW – a discrete sewer upgrade project will take place on Turney Road between Dulwich Village and Boxall Road later in 2014 to increase sewer capacity at this point.

Will there be parking controls?

It is expected that these will be single yellow lines operating Monday to Friday for the duration of the construction project. Details are to be confirmed. The contact for yellow lines is Dave Peace at FM Conway 020 8636 8822
How will construction be managed?
- Construction hours will be 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday – no weekend working.

What will happen to SCST ground and pavilion during construction?
- SCST will continue to operate the unaffected parts of the ground and pavilion as usual.
What about residents’ access to the field during construction work?
- This is still to be confirmed with SCST and MGJV. The site compound and works areas will be fenced off with signs and out of bounds at all times. Please check with onsite MGJV and SCST managers.
- Access from Turney back gardens is likely to be restricted during construction hours due to the temporary track and lorry movements. Please check with the onsite MGJV and SCST managers.

- Details to be confirmed but it is likely the nursery will be built in parallel with the flood works to minimise disruption to residents.
