We are disappointed that the design offers nothing to create a magnet to attract residents and visitors to the riverside, such as a Lido or other attraction. There are no boathouses and there is no proper town square, other than a designated event space on the Embankment, which is in the flood zone and shares the Embankment with a road access for large lorries connecting Water Lane and Wharf Lane. Whatever happened to the promise of a vehicle free riverside?

The Diamond Jubilee Gardens has lost its identity and has become a loosely linked collection of terraced landscaping. It is understood that the Twickenham Riverside Trust are unhappy with the council’s proposal, which could prompt the council to follow through with its threat to take back the Trust’s lease via a Compulsory Purchase Order.

The Stakeholder Representative Group (appointed by the council) has repeatedly raised concerns about the council’s proposed design, but these have been ignored.

Please ensure that your voice is heard and complete the questionnaire.
