Residents can tell planning watchdogs how proposals for a super sewer construction site in Fulham will affect them at a meeting this month.

The Planning Inspectorate is examining Thames Water's proposals to use Carnwath Road as a major access road and adjacent land beside the river as a major excavation site for the Thames Tideway Tunnel .

The water company argues that the super sewer is the best solution to stop raw sewage overflowing into the River Thames when it rains.

But Hammersmith and Fulham Council and residents have rallied against the plans which could cause nearly a decade of disruption for households, schools and businesses in the area.

Following a series of public meetings, the planning inspectorate will submit a recommendation to government ministers on whether they should allow Thames Water to use this site.

Council leader Nicholas Botterill urged people to attend the meeting and share their concerns.

He added: “Thames Water seems to have chosen a super sewer construction site that will cause major disruption to residents, schools and businesses in one of the busiest parts of the capital. It is ludicrous to use the Fulham riverside especially when Thames Water officials have admitted that it will affect more people and cost more money than the alternative in Barn Elms.”

The public meeting takes place at Hurlingham and Chelsea School in Peterborough Road, Fulham, on Thursday, January 30 from 7pm. It follows a similar meeting in December.

Anyone who wishes to speak at the meeting must register their name from 6.30pm.
