Hyde Park Stormwater Facility Upgrades and Channel Restoration
Official title: Hyde Park SWM Works Assignment ‘B’ – Detailed Design
London is moving ahead with upgrades to stormwater ponds and drainage channels in the Hyde Park area. The work includes retrofitting two stormwater facilities, adding wildlife habitat features, and restoring about 70 metres of the Stanton Drain natural channel. Phase 1 wrapped up in late 2023, and Phase 2 construction is expected to start in July 2025.
Why This Matters
Live in Hyde Park or nearby? These upgrades affect how your neighbourhood handles heavy rain and flooding. The channel restoration could improve local wildlife habitat. Construction starting July 2025 may mean temporary disruptions.
What Could Change
Two stormwater ponds will be retrofitted with new outlet structures and habitat enhancements. The Stanton Drain channel will be naturalized over 70 metres. The Canterbury Estates facility will be investigated for potential improvements.
Key Issues
- How should stormwater facilities be retrofitted to improve flood management?
- What habitat enhancements should be included in the facility upgrades?
- How should the Stanton Drain natural channel be restored?
