The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) has announced that AECOM - the independent specialist - has started work on delivering Stage 1 of the environmental checks in the North Kensington area and they expect work to take about three months.
A series of community events have been organised to keep residents informed and updated as well as to ensure they are involved every step of the way.
MHCLG committed that residents would be able to influence the design and implementation of the investigation, in particular to inform the scope and locations of the soil sampling.
They will be holding two identical workshops on different days to enable as many people as possible to attend. These are drop-in events and the same information will be provided at both events, so you only need to attend one.
Exploratory sampling in priority areas to test where to carry out the main investigation and informed by the consultation workshops.
A walkover of the site, to survey the area. MHCLG has a limited number of spaces for residents to be able to observe this survey and will be asking community organisations to nominate attendees.
Further community workshops at the end of Stage 1 to share the initial findings and seek views on the approach to Stage 2.
MHCLG will film the site walkover and exploratory sampling so that, if you are interested, you can watch it taking place on the Nextdoor website and app.
If you would like to speak to a member of the Government Project Team or NHS, they are continuing their weekly drop-in sessions at The Curve, Bard Road, every Tuesday afternoon.
Saturday 13 April - Voices of Inspiration Easter Street Party, Powis Square, Notting Hill, W11 2BN.
