Dukes Meadows Sport Facility
September 2022
Transforming Dukes Meadows: Expanding Sports and Recreation for a Vibrant Community Hub.
The London Borough of Hounslow has expanded the project to add football and rugby pitches, a rowing club, and recreational amenities. We also plan to enhance public spaces and improve external lighting for better accessibility and safety. S&P has developed innovative lighting schemes and infrastructure proposals that meet the Borough’s stringent sustainability requirements, ensuring energy-efficient solutions throughout. We will also align our proposals with the expectations of key stakeholders like Sport England, the Football Foundation, and the Rowing Club.
Stakeholder involvement and community consultation are central to this project’s success. We conduct regular meetings and workshops with key stakeholders to understand and integrate their needs and expectations into the design process. Feedback from these sessions is actively shaping the development plans, ensuring that the new facilities meet the diverse needs of the local community, sports organisations, and visitors.
Results
After a comprehensive review and stakeholder consultation, the Council is considering various options to enhance sports facilities, improve site access, and expand open spaces at Dukes Meadows. We also held public consultations to gather input from local residents and community groups, ensuring the project aligns with their vision for the area. These enhancements not only aim to create a more welcoming environment for all visitors but also to promote health and well-being through improved recreational opportunities.
