Hammersmith Bridge: Proposed Temporary Walking and Cycling Bridge We’D Like Your Views on Plans for a Temporary Walking and Cycling Bridge Over the River Hammersmith Bridge: proposed temporary walking and cycling bridge We’d like your views on plans for a temporary walking and cycling bridge over the river. Background The existing Grade II Listed Hammersmith Bridge requires extensive repairs to protect it for the future. The bridge is currently closed to all motorised vehicles and people are choosing to walk and cycle across it. To do the repairs to the bridge quickly and safely it is likely to have to be fully closed. To maintain this link across the river during the repairs Hammersmith & Fulham Council have asked us to consider installing a temporary walking and cycling bridge. The proposal The installation of a temporary prefabricated, 7 metre wide steel bridge alongside, and at a similar height to, the existing bridge. The proposed bridge would be: • Step-free with a 5.5 metre wide carriageway. • Accessed by shallow ramps from Queen Caroline Street from the north and from close to the junction of Castelnau and Riverview Gardens from the south. • Supported by two piers, each comprising four piles, located in the river.

  • Impact of a Single Day Major Event on a City Arup & the Boat Race Company October 2017
    The Boat Race Impact of a Single Day Major Event on a City Arup & The Boat Race Company October 2017 Executive Summary The Boat Race is an event steeped in history and tradition, with a high degree of public recognition in the UK and worldwide. Major events, of which The Boat Race is one, have undergone significant change over the last 30 years. The speed of development in equipment technology, broadcasting and spectator expectations have combined to produce events that reach far beyond their sporting origins. Through study of the economic, logistical and experiential influences on The Boat Race this document reviews the current ‘state-of-play’ for the event and makes recommendations of areas that should be considered for development in order for the event to maximise its commercial, sporting and social sustainability. Key to the future of The Boat Race is to maintain and build from its ethos of scholar athletes, elite performance, tradition and accessibility for all and to focus on how to engage with the UK and worldwide audience in order to generate income and extend the reach of the event beyond Race Day itself. The report also provides high level case studies of sporting events which have successfully managed the transition from traditional sports into highly regarded, well supported events that focus on fan experience and long term event sustainability. This document proposes that public and commercial engagement can be enhanced on various levels for The Boat Race. The report highlights the key themes for future development as digitalisation, extension of the event profile, recognition of the commercial asset, diversity of revenue streams and using the event to positively influence the sport of rowing.

  • Response Letter to London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham
    Baroness Vere of Norbiton Minister for Roads, Buses and Places Great Minster House 33 Horseferry Road London SW1P 4DR Tel: XXXXXX Cllr Stephen Cowan E-Mail: [email protected] Leader of the London Borough of Web site: www.gov.uk/dft Hammersmith & Fulham Hammersmith Town Hall London W6 9JU 20 August 2021 Dear Stephen, I am responding to three letters you have written in the last month on Hammersmith Bridge: your letters to me on 23 July and 13 August, and your letter of 30 July 2021 to Ms Kelleher. Given the degree of overlap, I have combined my responses into a single letter. It is welcome news that the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF) has made a decision on its preferred approach to stabilisation as requested in my letter of 1 June. This letter also clearly outlined the conditions which the Government has attached to the offer of funding for the repair of the bridge, through the Transport for London (TfL) extraordinary funding and finance deal. Regarding points made in your recent letters, there are a number of areas that I must address to ensure there is a collective and agreed understanding of the issues. Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) Since writing to you on 1 June, our officials have been in contact regarding the MoU. It is not the case that you did not hear anything for eight weeks following the funding announcement. On 7 June, three working days after the TfL funding deal was announced, DfT officials met with LBHF and TfL officials to discuss the spirit and content of the MoU.

  • Implications of Hammersmith Bridge Closure
    TECHNICAL NOTE Job Name: Stag Brewery, Mortlake Job No: 38262 Note No: TN039 – Rev Final Date: January 2021 Prepared By: Peter Wadey Checked By: Greg Callaghan Subject: Implications of Hammersmith Bridge Closure 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 This technical note has been prepared by Stantec to discuss the implications of the Hammersmith Bridge closure on the Stag Development during both the operational and construction phases. A number of comments have been raised during the consultation process, requesting clarification of the implications of the development with the closure of Hammersmith Bridge and this note provides further analysis on this. 1.1.2 There has been no opportunity to gather any further data due to Covid – 19, however new traffic surveys and modelling will be undertaken prior to the implementation of the highway improvements. The Environmental Statement and modelling work undertaken for the Transport Assessment have therefore been based on traffic data obtained prior to the closure of the bridge and pre-Covid 19 and are representative of the reasonable likely traffic conditions in the area, as agreed with Transport for London (TfL). This note provides analysis of the implications of the bridge closure using the most up to date information available for Hammersmith Bridge. 1.1.3 Hammersmith Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the River Thames in west London. It links the southern part of Hammersmith in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF), on the north side of the river, and Barnes in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames (LBRuT), on the south side of the river.

  • John Snow, William Farr and the 1849 Outbreak of Cholera That Affected London: a Reworking of the Data Highlights the Importance of the Water Supply
    Public Health (2004) 118, 387–394 John Snow, William Farr and the 1849 outbreak of cholera that affected London: a reworking of the data highlights the importance of the water supply P. Binghama,*, N.Q. Verlanderb, M.J. Cheala aIsle of Wight Primary Care Trust, Whitecroft, Sandy Lane, Newport, I.O.W PO30 3ED, UK bPHLS Statistics Unit, Colindale, UK Received 11 August 2003; received in revised form 8 January 2004; accepted 24 May 2004 KEYWORDS Summary Objectives. This paper examines why Snow’s contention that cholera was John Snow; William Farr; principally spread by water was not accepted in the 1850s by the medical elite. Cholera; Logistic The consequence of rejection was that hundreds in the UK continued to die. regression Methods. Logistic regression was used to re-analyse data, first published in 1852 by William Farr, consisting of the 1849 mortality rate from cholera and eight potential explanatory variables for the 38 registration districts of London. Results. Logistic regression does not support Farr’s original conclusion that a district’s elevation above high water was the most important explanatory variable. Elevation above high water, water supply and poor rate each have an independent significant effect on district cholera mortality rate, but in terms of size of effect, it can be argued that water supply most strongly ‘invited’ further consideration. Conclusions. The science of epidemiology, that Farr helped to found, has continued to advance. Had logistic regression been available to Farr, its application to his 1852 data set would have changed his conclusion. Q 2004 The Royal Institute of Public Health.

Hammersmith Bridge remains closed to river traffic at the request of the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham Council (LBHF). An exclusion zone of 15 metres upriver and downriver of the bridge remains in place.

  • Supplement – March 2021
    Supplement – March 2021 Why a supplement? Not a month went by when, within a day or so of submitting my pieces to the David Parr House, I would stumble across additional information or a picture which would have been perfect. And, what to do with the interesting information that didn’t make my 2020 ‘Afterword’s? Moreover, new discoveries have come to light in the interim. The Boat Race, 9th April 1892 Great Ouse taken at Queen Adelaide – Oxford won by 2 ¼ lengths looking down stream, therefore at one end of Photographer: name not given the racecourse, and in the opposite direction. Collection: Hammersmith & Fulham Archives Note: the image is typical of the Fen landscape. Note: William Morris’s house is the largest property with Photographer: Bob Jones – 2008 the brilliant white door surround. Reproduced under creative commons licence ‘Boat Race Day’ Last March’s story was inspired by William Morris’s ‘Boat Race Day’ parties at his Hammersmith home on the Middlesex bank of the Thames. By happy coincidence, the Oxford v. Cambridge Boat Race was often staged on or close to his birthday (24th March). The Boat Race didn’t take place in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The break was significant as the race had been staged every year since 1946. This year, the Boat Race is scheduled to take place on Easter Sunday (4th April 2021). However, the race cannot take place along The Championship Course. Aside from the anticipated Covid-19 pandemic restrictions, Hammersmith Bridge is closed not only to road traffic, cyclists and pedestrians, but also to water traffic, which is not able to pass under it as a safety precaution after cracks were identified in its structure.
