Spectators can cheer on the runners with Romans, chat with Dick Whittington and maybe even spot a giant grasshopper. The event is organized by the Tommy’s charity and will enable over 100 other charities to use the event to raise funds to continue their good works – the overall fundraising target is £4 million. The event has proved to be incredibly popular and was sold out in minutes after being announced – over 70,000 runners signing up for the 10,000 places on offer! Five historical City activations will be staged along the route at Postman’s Park, Dr Johnson’s House, Bow Bells on Cheapside, the Roman Amphitheatre at Guildhall and the Roman Baths at old Billingsgate. Throughout the route 24 music groups will be performing numerous musical genres, and 2 stages (one at the junction of Queen St and Queen Victoria St) will showcase London’s up and coming dance talent. Two children’s treasure hunts will be staged in the City and free short guided tours will be provided as well as 16 themed cheer stations lining the route – the majority being in the City. The event will also provide an opportunity for numerous local schools and young people to be involved. More information about the event can be found on the website at https://www.llhm.co.uk/ THAMES TIDEWAY TUNNEL – BLACKFRIARS BRIDGE FORESHORE UPDATE The TTT project team have removed the old pump house and adjoining staircase and completed the new staircase and lift to the east side of Blackfriars Bridge. Construction of the cofferdam to the west of bridge is now underway. The cofferdam will allow the team to drain out the river water to create a work area within the river foreshore to enable the construction of the shaft to connect to the new super sewer. The works require a variety of piles to be driven into the river bed including sheet and king piles. The team is using both ‘vibro’ (the preferred method) and percussive piling. Vibro piling is carried out by using equipment to vibrate the piles into the river bed, the team is also having to utilise percussive piling due to the ground conditions. This employs an impact hammer to drive the piles the last few metres into place following the use of the vibro. The percussive method is nosier and more disruptive. Each pile takes approximately 40 minutes to complete although generally only 10-15 minutes of that time will be audible. Check out our website for other news of the ward Nearby residents and businesses will have noticed the noise from the percussive piling, the project and further details on team is operating within Section 61 (Control of Pollution Act 1974) obligations and are working with newsletter topics! the City of London to ensure that disruption is minimized. The piling work is planned to complete by the end of this year, the complete project at Blackfriars will not be completed until 2023. www.castle-baynard.org.uk Page 1 Castle Baynard Resident March 2018 CITY TRANSPORT STRATEGY Your voice on Common Council: The City is currently engaged in developing a new City Transport Strategy.
