Raphaels Park, lake edging remedial works - October 2008

We have today received notice that the lake edgings are to be replaced in the not too distant future. Should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact us via email, and we will pass on to Havering Parks Services on your behalf.
We have been assured that all fish will remain in the lake, there is no plan to remove them as far as we are aware. We would be very grateful if lakeside residents can keep us informed of any such actions and welcome any comments you may have regarding this matter.
In the coming week all residents should receive a copy of the foregoing letter, published by Havering Parks Services, Don Stewart, Interim Parks Project Manager;

Dear Sir/Madam

Raphael Park, Romford – Stabilisation of Lakeside Revetments and Footpath

You may be aware that the ongoing deterioration of the lakeside walk at Raphael Park. In order to restore this popular amenity to a stable condition it is necessary to carry out remedial works as soon as possible. These works are due to start later this week and it is anticipated that they will be completed in approximately 12 weeks.

The works will entail the installation of new sheet piling and a series of edging beams. It is inevitable that some disturbance will be caused particularly during pile driving operations. However our contractor will be required to minimise as far as is practicable the level and duration of any noise and to ensure compliance with statutory requirements at all times. The council has been liaising with the Environment Agency regarding the project.

I also wish to inform you that it will be necessary to lower the level of the lake to enable the works to take place and that parts of the footpath will be closed during the project for health and safety reasons.

In view of the proximity of your premises to these works I am writing to apologise for any inconvenience that may be caused and to thank you in advance for your cooperation in this connection.

Yours sincerely,

Don Stewart

Interim Parks Projects Manager
