Good afternoon, We committed to providing weekly updates on this section of works. Currently, all previously shared information remains unchanged. Preparations are underway to carry out the testing for Test 2, which is now likely to take place towards the end of next week. We will provide a further update on Friday with details of any progress made. We would like to clarify that the section of the Public Right of Way (PROW) between the stables and the Mount Community Centre remains closed. Unfortunately, our previous update did not make this clear, and we apologise for any confusion this may have caused. We will continue to provide updates on the status of this closure as the works progress. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we move through this important phase of the project. Sarah

Good morning, Everyone, Hope you all enjoyed Halloween and Bonfire night, now its the run up to Christmas, just dont know where this year has gone! But on that note we would like to provide you with your monthly update on the treatment works here at Wark. Since the last update we have carried out the following. We have started to demobilise the site starting from our top compound to a smaller set up at the bottom section of the site and civilised the area where our cabins were located before. Flows have been turned through the new HST tank and all over pumping has been removed from site. We have began to reinstate the bottom of the site with topsoil and stone prior to leaving site before Christmas. We have carried out some work in the village to help the community with their parking issue and constructed additional car parking spaces, these are situated in front of the doctors surgery, and we have also helped reinstate a nearby car park with stone that was left over from the works.  Once again we would like to thank you all for your continued support and patience. In the meantime if you require any further information or you have any questions or issues please leave a comment below or use the details provided and one of the team willbe happy to help. Thank You  Julie

Good Morning We are back with another update on our 5 Storm Tank Overflow projects. Moor Crescent/Barnard Avenue, Ludworth The team have continued to work on the large diameter tank over the last few weeks, even though the weather hasn’t been on their side and have been faced with delays due to uncharted services. The team are aiming to have the tank complete by Friday 22 November with the surface water separation of the sewer completed 2 weeks after if not before. Barnard Avenue road closure remains in place, with the team progressing well with the work and moving the road closure up to the next section. Etherley Dene, Bishop Auckland The team continue to work in the background until the urgent third-party work in the area is complete. Our aim is to make sure disturbance is kept to a minimum and will provide a further update when our work can begin. Pithouse lane, Leamside Installation of the new CSO is currently in progress. CSO installation works will be ongoing for the next few weeks. Finchale View, West Rainton We are currently installing the compound area on site. Over the next couple of weeks, we will be completing the compound and haul road installation and stripping the topsoil at the worksite ready for the drainage installation. Stanghow Road, Lingdale Excavation works for the new storm tank will be starting week commencing 18th November. This means there will be heavy load vehicles present and travelling along Stanghow Road.

Please see below for details on each section: Eighton Banks As part of the ongoing improvements to the Carr Hill West pipeline, pipeline testing is ongoing which has highlighted repairs are necessary to parts of the pipeline, these repairs are located in and around the public rights of way.  For everyone’s safety, temporary footpath closures will be required, please note whilst we undertake this work we will maintain an open footpath at all times as indicated in this plan (click here) Key Dates and Footpath Closures Section 1 : Scheduled to start on Monday, 11th November and continue for at least three weeks.  Section 2: we will advise on the dates for this repair  After these tests, we will carry out a final test on the section from the Public Right of Way near the community centre up to the car park. This is planned for the second week of December and is critical for water flow through the pipeline. We’ll post weekly updates as testing progresses to keep everyone informed. Peareth Hall Road Pipeline installation from Springwell Road to Peareth Hall Road is complete, and we are now restoring the land. We aim to demobilise the temporary site compound off Peareth Hall Road before the Christmas break. Additionally: A194 rock scaling works will begin on 18th November now that we have formal agreement with Highways England.

We have two final roof concrete pours left to secure the structure: The next roof pour is scheduled for 12th November. The final pour is planned for the week commencing 9th December.
