Upcoming Thames Water works on Penfold Street

We'd like to let residents know that Thames Water has scheduled works on Penfold Street for Monday 27 July, 1pm -5pm. A Thames Water Technician will attend to operate a valve in the carriage way and access the water supply ahead of planned disconnection.

Following this visit, the work will be passed onto the repairs team who will either remove the unused section of water main, or explore the installation of a new fire hydrant to help maintain protection in the area.

There may be some temporary activity on site whilst these works are carried out. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Thank you for your continued cooperation. 

This is a notice to update residents of an out-of-hours delivery of machinery to Church Street Site A scheduled for Monday 27 July.

Site A will see 430 new homes built. 215 of these new homes will be affordable, with 70% of these affordable homes let at Social Rent. Site A will also be home to a new library and new spaces for shops.

• The delivery of two piling rig machines to site is scheduled between 5:00-6:00am, with the aim to be off site before 7:00am.
• Due to its large size, the delivery needs to take place outside normal working hours for safety reasons. This has been agreed with Westminster City Council via approved section 61 notice
• The delivery of these machines will enable the piling phase of the construction works to continue. Piling is the process of driving or drilling massive poles (called "piles") deep into the earth to act as the hidden legs of a building. It is used when the top layer of ground is too soft or weak to hold the heavy weight of a structure

Please be assured that noise will be kept to a minimum, with specific positioning of the delivery trailer ensuring minimal disruption. There will be no need for any other movement until working hours commence at 8:00am.

If you have any queries, please contact Church Street Site A’s Project Director, Sean Kelly, at [email protected]

Thank you for your cooperation.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at our Sites B and C Design Day.  

We were delighted to welcome more than 200 people from the local community throughout the day to explore the emerging designs, speak with the project team, share ideas and feedback, and enjoy the activities, refreshments and ice cream. 

Westminster City Council has launched a Street Trading and Market Consultation and would like to hear your views.

The consultation sets out draft proposals of how street trading and markets are licensed, managed, charged and supported across Westminster covering council-managed markets and wider street trading activity.

Your feedback will help shape how trading and markets operate across Westminster in the future.

The consultation is now open until 23.59 on Sunday 30 August.

This notice is to update residents about the delivery of a pilling rig machine to Church Street Site A, scheduled for Monday 6 July 2026. 

Co-design goes from Strength to Strength

The second round of co-design activities for Sites B and C is underway.

This continues the successful work that saw Church Street residents work with architects to make changes to designs for the regeneration scheme. Since March, we have held pop-up events, spoken with residents at the market and held four popular interactive workshops. In these latest workshops, we have worked with residents, traders and businesses to further shape the plans ahead of submitting refreshed plans.

There is still more design work to do before we submit a planning application in 2027. We’re committed to continuing this partnership work with you to make sure the designs for Church Street Sites B and C deliver what the community needs.

What to Expect

On the day, we will share the progress of Site B & C co-design. There will be drop‑ins, Q&A with architects, live models, and family activities. You can find us on the Triangle outside the Regeneration Space. 

Social value means backing the people and organisations already making a difference locally🤝   The Mosaic Community Trust's One Stop Service is a brilliant example of that in action.
