Footpath to close during drainage work

Footpath Closed sign

ENGIE is working on behalf of Sixty Bricks, Waltham Forest Council’s development company, to build 45 new homes at Lena Kennedy Close, Chingford.

On Friday 8 November 2019 ENGIE intend to close off the footpath which leads to Rolls Park Sports Ground to allow major drainage work to take place

The work will take around six weeks to complete and involves connections to the main drainage system, underneath the greenery. 

If ENGIE is able to complete the works sooner the footpath will reopen but during the works it must be closed for safety reasons.

We apologise for any inconvenience this might cause.    

Name will commemorate 100 years of council housing

100 years of Council housing logo

2019 was the 100th anniversary of the Housing Act 1919, known as the Addison Act, which was the first time central government provided financial support for local authorities wanting to build council houses.

As this development at Lena Kennedy Close is the first council housing project built by Sixty Bricks, Waltham Forest Council’s development company and is being built during that anniversary year, it has been agreed to name the new building Centenary House.

Development will pay for investment in Rolls Park

  • An Energy Recumbent Bike
  • A Smart Energy Hand Bike, which can also be used by wheelchair users
  • Two Outdoor Table Tennis Tables

There will also be a footpath link from Centenary House to Rolls Park.
