Advance Notice: Essential Thames Water Works on Putney High Street

The works are necessary to repair and rebuild a collapsed manhole chamber. To enable this, temporary multi-way traffic signals will be in place outside 126 Putney High Street (near Robert Dyas). 

To minimise disruption, the Council ensured this work is taking place during the school holidays. However, significant delays and congestion are expected in the area during this period.
