Traveller Sites Refurbishment Works

Southwark owns Traveller sites at Springtide Close, Brideale Close and Burnhill Close to accommodate Gypsies and Travellers. Springtide Close currently provides five static home pitches, each with its own amenity building, and there is scope to develop an additional pitch on the site. The proposed development will help meet the identified accommodation needs of the Gypsy and Traveller community in the area, reducing the current unmet need to 21 pitches. The scope of works will also include general refurbishment works including fire remediation action. At Burnhill and Springtide, the proposed works include stripping the existing facilities back to shell, carrying out repairs, installing new drainage, railings, doors, finishes and fittings, and providing fully refurbished kitchens, WCs, showers, laundry rooms and associated mechanical, electrical, and external works. At Brideale, the proposed works include a full site tidy-up, disposal of waste, relocation of existing mobile homes and the installation of new high fire-rated fencing.
