Following last week’s update on Twickenham Riverside the “Twickenham Lido” petition, advocating sport and leisure on the disputed site became very active with an additional eighty people signing and making comments. These are individual residents - now 4,243 supporters of “Twickenham lido”, who the Council do not seem to hear. However, a question asked is will the Council give in to public opinion or will minority groups in a small area of Twickenham win the day? The Council consultation at the moment consists of a “Stakeholders Group”. Those of us interested in Twickenham Riverside are all stakeholders but a number of the groups invited to consult with the Council seem to be connected with Eel Pie Island - a car-free island, where people appear to want to keep vehicles on the Embankment rather than looking at alternative parking.

  • PLAYING PITCH STRATEGY Action Plan Update
    Official LONDON BOROUGH OF RICHMOND UPON THAMES PLAYING PITCH STRATEGY Action Plan Update March 2021 Official Purpose of this document This document relates to, and should be read in conjunction with, the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS), which was developed for the Council by Knight, Kavanagh & Page (KKP) and published in March 2018. Monitoring and updating the PPS forms an important part of the planning process, with guidance from Sport England recommending that the actions identified within the Strategy are reviewed on an annual basis. In light of this, the Council participated in a ‘Stage E’ meeting in January 2021 with representatives of Sport England, Sport Richmond, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), England Hockey, the Football Association (FA), the Football Foundation, the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), and the Rugby Football Union (RFU). The intention of these meeting was to monitor the delivery of the recommendations and action plan identified in the PPS, and to highlight emergent issues and opportunities. The meetings were not intended to review the overarching strategic recommendations identified within Part 5 of the PPS, which are considered to remain applicable and relevant. Guide to using this document The site by site action plans identified within ‘Part 6’ of the PPS have been replicated in the tables below, each of which covers one of the three study areas utilised in the original assessment study (Hampton & Teddington; Richmond; and Twickenham). For reference, these tables are identified on pages 45-51, 54-59, and 62-65 of the PPS, respectively. In addition, three further columns have been included, recording the ‘actions taken’ and the ‘issues raised’.

  • The Friends of Udney Park Playing Fields (FUPPF)
    The Friends of Udney Park Playing Fields (FUPPF) Newsletter 27 26th September 2017 UDNEY PARK PLAYING FIELDS TRUST A charitable trust, Company number 10953531, has been formed and is ready to take over this wonderful heritage in trust for perpetuity for the benefit of the whole Teddington Community. We want to see the entire 12+ acres together with a well-refurbished existing pavilion made available to all local sports clubs, community groups, Park Lane Stables, the scouts etc. The Trust is ready to provide Quantum with a graceful exit and to work with TCSG CIC to achieve an outcome in which all can win. Update – Richmond Local Plan The public hearings are about to start. The status of Udney Park Playing Fields as a Local Green Space (LGS) is on the agenda from 9:30 onwards Monday October 9th, hopefully more precise timings to follow. The hearing is at York House, Twickenham, and members of the public are welcome. Apart from the predictably massive 86-page challenge by Quantum to Richmond Council's decision to grant Udney LGS status there are a number of personal objections. Many of these have curiously similar "corporate language" and would appear to have been given some assistance composing their representations – unsurprisingly. See this; Dear Mr … My reason for contacting you is to see if you would be happy to write a support letter on our behalf and if it makes it easier – I am happy to draft one for you?! Also, do you know of any other people who would be happy to support? We have trying to submit 1,000s of support letters and are well on target but as you know there is a local group who are against our proposals so we need to do everything we can to make sure we get the message out loud and clear to the Council that local people want this to happen! Let me know in due course.
