Officers returned the next day, finding the footway closed without a safe and accessible alternative route.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, a ramp had been installed upside down, exposing its rough underside rather than the intended walking surface. This made the ramp unsuitable and potentially unsafe for use.<\/p>\n<h3>Additional hazards found at Seymour Walk site<\/h3>\n<p>Further unsafe works were found at Seymour Walk, including a works vehicle parked on the footway, which obstructed access to nearby properties and forced pedestrians into the carriageway.<\/p>\n<p>Also, a paving slab was left standing upright, which created a risk of it falling and causing injury.<\/p>\n<h3>Minimising disruption caused by street works<\/h3>\n<p>Kensington and Chelsea Council carry out regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/digital-twin-street-works\/95103\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">inspections of street works<\/a> to ensure compliance with the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 and the Safety at Street Works and Road Works Code of Practice.<\/p>\n<p>The council\u2019s network management team works closely with utility companies to minimise disruption caused by potentially unsafe street works. Through collaborative work between multiple utilities and council highway maintenance programmes, the team has saved more than 4,500 days of street works activity across the borough since 2010.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2026, the council successfully prosecuted Thames Water for several other unsafe street works offences at City of London Magistrates Court.<\/p>\n<p>The court imposed total fines of \u00a39,000, along with a victim surcharge of \u00a32,000 and \u00a39,000 in prosecution costs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to the unsafe street works, members of the public were exposed to serious hazards, including excavated grounds, materials, and equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":161331,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[309],"tags":[173172,802],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-161330","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health-safety-news","8":"tag-local-authorities","9":"tag-water-management"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Thames Water fined \u00a310k for unsafe street works in London<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Due to the unsafe street works, members of the public were exposed to serious hazards, including excavated grounds, materials, and equipment\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/health-safety-news\/thames-water-slammed-with-10k-fine-unsafe-street-works-london\/161330\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Thames Water slammed with \u00a310k fine for unsafe street works in London\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Due to the unsafe street works, members of the public were exposed to serious hazards, including excavated grounds, materials, and equipment\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/health-safety-news\/thames-water-slammed-with-10k-fine-unsafe-street-works-london\/161330\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
