From "Springwell Enhancements Project"
Go to the project
Further to the Springwell Village Residents’ Association (SVRA) meeting on 9 September, where we shared information and listened to feedback from the community in regard to the proposed height of the reservoir fence, we’d like to provide an update as promised.
After careful consideration, further discussion and consultation with our security team and partners, we are pleased to be able to share that the height of the fence will be reduced from 2.4 metres to 1.8 metres.
This decision reflects a careful balance between maintaining site security and recognising and responding to community concerns about visual impact.
The reduction in planned height is possible due to the enhanced onsite security measures we have been able to put in place in close collaboration with our security teams. These improvements allow us to maintain the necessary level of protection while also being responsive to views expressed within the local community.
We are carefully reviewing other feedback shared by the community and will provide further updates shortly. We remain committed to engaging constructively and openly as we continue to work towards completion of this critical project.
