26 – 29 JUNE 2023
Work is about to start on laying electrical cable at the pond. Since this will involve digging up and relaying the main path causing considerable disruption, the pond will be closed for 4 days. It is expected this will be Monday 26 – Thursday 29th June.
There will also be resurfacing of the steps to the lower meadow and finishing up with the works on the accessible shower and toilet. CoL is hoping this will be completed by the 29th, but if not, it is expected that the pond will re-open then and work continue as at present in the background.
The main toilets should re-open tomorrow, 20 June and the portaloos and fencing will be removed – the City are hoping this can be done with minimal disruption. The accessible portaloo will remain on site until work on the accessible changing space is completed.
Temporary toilets for upper meadow users will be placed soon, either in the cycle park or tucked at the back of the upper meadow. In the meantime please be patient if the stewards ask you to use Millfield Lane public toilets.
We are awaiting confirmation of alternative swimming arrangements for women during the period of the Pond closure and will send out updates to KLPA members as we get them – please keep an eye on your inbox, or check your spam file if you don’t see anything.
We appreciate your patience and tolerance as the works are completed.
