Simply Run is a family-friendly event that aims to encourage participation and enjoyment of running and racing at all distances.Run start at 9am so please be early to sign up.Further advice from TfL regarding works near the park at Woodside tram lines
'work being carried out during the day this week, behind the Woodside tram stop to reduce vegetation. This work is required so the land can be used for future track maintenance works.
Work started last Friday and will take place until Friday 18 January 2019 between 07:30 and 16:00 only
As part of this work we will need to use a chipper (shredding plants/bushes) and chainsaw. As a result some noise will be generated. We will do all we can to keep disruption to a minimum, but please accept our apologies in advance if this important work disrupts you or your contacts and local residents any way.'
Mary Guruparan - FOAP Chair
Advice from TfL regarding ongoing bridge works at Blackhorse Lane. Local residents will continue to be leafletted. Ashburton Park will also be utilised in small part.
'Restricted access to Elmers Road from 21 January
From Monday 21 January to the end of April 2019, we need to close the Elmers Road junction with Blackhorse Lane to vehicles so we can safely operate heavy plant and construction vehicles while working on the bridge over the railway park.
Vehicles will not be able to enter Elmers Road via Morland Road and Blackhorse Lane. Access will be via Stroud Road and Woodside Green. Local traffic will be diverted via Spring Lane and Woodside Green. Diversion routes will be clearly signposted.
Residential parking along Elmers Road will be unchanged. A vehicle turning space will be created at its junction with Blackhorse Lane to assist drivers. Walking and cycling access is also unchanged. Pedestrians will be directed to the opposite pavement along Morland Road for a safe walking route to and from Blackhorse Lane, Elmers Road and the tram stop.
In addition to the diversion boards we will be placing new ‘business open as usual’ messaging in the area.
Ashburton Park storage area
From Monday 21 January 2019 until work is complete, a small section of Ashburton Park, close to the Tenterden Road entrance will be used as a secure storage facility for heavy plant and construction equipment. Safe walking routes around the compound will be maintained at all times.
Temporary tram line closures
I would also like to take this opportunity to flag that this year there are times when the Beckenham Junction branch of the tram line will close to allow construction work to take place at the bridge over the tramway. The first closure is scheduled to take place from Saturday 16 to Sunday 24 February 2019.
In addition other tram line maintenance works will also see a series of weekend line closures in the area. Dates will be communicated using posters at tram stops, via social media and our website in due course. Tram replacement bus service will be provided. We will be asking customers to check our website before they travel for up to date information about these closures.'
