South Woodford Library RAAC repairs to begin this autumn

Redbridge Council has issued an update on South Woodford Library, which closed in September 2024 following the discovery of RAAC concrete.

“We’re in the final stages of negotiation and anticipate the appointed contractor will begin work this autumn. In the meantime, our structural engineers have been assessing the building and providing recommendations. As part of this preparatory phase, we’ve had to prop up the roof structure and install security hoardings… A reopening date will be announced in due course.”
