Overview
The River Crane runs through the borough, consisting of a series of parks and greenspaces that together make the River Crane Valley. The River runs through five boroughs, starting as the Yeading Brook, before enlarging into the River Crane proper and first comes into the Borough in Cranford, before eventually discharging into the River Thames.
What we are doing
The Crane Valley Masterplan is a series of projects along the River Crane Valley, which includes:
Boardwalk and pathway upgrades in Donkey Woods and Brazil Mill Woods
The creation of a new pathway at Waye Avenue Open Space.
This will join all of these great spaces into one large green space that runs throughout the borough.
The images below show the three stages of pathway construction; soil moving, hardcore (foundations), and the gravel top layer.
These pathways form a major part of the London Outer Orbital Path (LOOP) that runs around the entirety of London. They also make up a considerable stretch of the 'Crane Valley River Path' a scenic walk along the river that passes through five boroughs. You can find out more about the Crane Valley River Path Here: Crane Valley Trail.
There may be closures during our works, this is to ensure the safety of residents. We realise this may impact your daily routine, and do not take the decision to close an area lightly.
For partner updates, consider visiting the Crane Valley Partnership webpage here: Crane Valley Partnership.
We're working with a number of partners and organisations to deliver events and learning along the crane valley such as our 'Take Me To The River' project, more information here: Take Me To The River.
