Trench works at Argenta House
Asked for an update on works at the Argenta House site, opposite Wembley Park Station, following the floods a spokesperson for the Londonewcastle Latimer joint venture, told Wembley Matters:
Henry Construction – who are no longer on the project – carried out work at our Argenta House site. The local area is an area with known and longstanding issues with flooding.
We are aware of the view that Henry’s temporary works to the nearby brook may have been a contributing factor, alongside exceptionally adverse weather, to the recent floods. After taking back control of the site following Henry’s administration and having received notification from the Environment Agency that remedial works were needed, we removed the temporary work as a precautionary step. We can see the brook is now running freely and we continue to monitor the site.
We remain in regular contact with key stakeholders including the council and the Environment Agency to support ongoing investigations in the wider area following the flooding.
