Temple Pond

Potential to de-silt Temple Pond and add dry storage to increase capacity of the pond.

Temple Pond will be dredged and silt that has built up over many years will be removed. The depth of the silt poses a risk to public safety and wildlife and also means that the amount of flood storage is reduced.

Where is Temple Pond?

Temple Pond is in the London Borough of Harrow south of Stanmore. Click here for link to Google Maps. 

What phase is Temple Pond in the Co-Design process?

Construction: We’re pleased to share that the desilting of Temple Pond is almost complete. All the silt has now been removed and safely taken to a licensed waste facility.

The temporary silt storage area in front of Castlereagh House is being re-turfed, and the bank around the pond has been levelled. To help the area recover, it will stay temporarily fenced with stock fencing over the winter. In spring, we’ll roll and sow new grass, look after it until it’s well established, then remove the fencing and hand the area over to our grounds maintenance team.

We’ll also be jet washing the footpath and carrying out a few small repairs to freshen it up.
