Extended closure of Lionel Road South approved

EcoWorld London, Brentford Football Club’s development partner for work on Brentford Community Stadium, has been granted permission to extend the closure of Lionel Road South through to 31 August 2020.

Permission had originally been given to close Lionel Road South to cars, motorcycles and other vehicles until the end of 2019. During this closure, work has been done to enable the connection of utilities and to undertake complex road widening works at the junction of Lionel Road South and the South Circular Road. This is continuing and it will now be necessary to maintain the road closure until August. Permission has been granted by the London Borough of Hounslow.

The road will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists (although cyclists will need to dismount for safety reasons) and will continue to be temporarily closed to cars, motorcycles and other vehicles. During the closure to vehicles, traffic will continue to be diverted via Chiswick High Road (A205) and Great West Road (A4), and via Kew Bridge Road, High Street (Brentford), Ealing Road and Great West Road (A4).

A number of measures will be taken to ensure that road users of Lionel Road South are aware of the closure, including the placement of yellow road signs on approaching roads, street notices along Lionel Road South itself, and notification to the main navigation apps. Residents living close to Lionel Road South will also be told of the ongoing road closure  through the latest Brentford Community Stadium Newsletter, being delivered shortly. 

For any queries about this closure, please contact Brentforddevelopment@ecoworldlondon.com.

Latest stadium sketches released

The milestones are being ticked off at Brentford Community Stadium as the construction enters its final months and time is counting down until we leave our historic Griffin Park home. The final Sky Bet Championship game at Griffin Park is less than five months away and in eight months Brentford will be playing in our new stadium. The main structure is now in place at Brentford Community Stadium, as is the pitch and the seats.

With work continuing, sketch artist John Webb is continuing to record progress. John, a member of London Urban Sketchers, has taken on the role of regularly visiting the site to fill his sketchbook as the work progresses. The latest views can be seen above and below.

With Brentford's Farewell Griffin Park season, presented by London Pride, under way, John is now sketching at both sites. We hope to have an exhibition of John’s work at the new stadium when it opens. In the meantime, if you would like to see more of his work, do take a look at his website at johnawebb.weebly.com.
