Unplanned road closures in and around Park Avenue
Park Avenue (NW10) is closed to traffic while Thames Water works to fix urgent water supply issues in the area. Cadent is also carrying out emergency repairs to a nearby gas leak, so local disruption is likely.
Due to the emergency nature of these works, we were unable to plan for this disruption. We’re working closely with Thames Water and Cadent to resolve the issues as quickly as possible. We thank you for your patience.
