Belford Street, Peterlee

Hi Peterlee

We’re investing in your area and I thought I’d take the opportunity to introduce myself.　

My name is Michelle Sell and I am Northumbrian Water’s (NW) Project Manager responsible for the work we are undertaking in your area to improve the sewerage network.  

NW and our supply partners Esh-Stantec will be constructing a new sewer from Belford Street to Kilburn Drive and because of key environmental dates, ESH Stantec are currently on site removing trees to the east of Belford Street. The trees need to be removed to accommodate a 10-metre-wide corridor which will be a provisional route to access our working area.

A letter detailing the work we are planning and a map of our working area is being sent to residents on Friday 26 February and I have included a copy of the letter below for your ease of reference.

We always look to engage with the local community and we had hoped to arrange a public event to share our plan with you and answer any questions or concerns but Covid-19 has prevented us from doing that.

As an alternative, we may be able to organise a virtual residents meeting so please register your interest here if this is something that you feel may be beneficial and you wish to take part in.

As work gets underway other members of the project team will be commenting here so please follow this project to make sure you receive regular updates. You can also contact us via the contact us button above with any questions you may have and either myself or a member of the project team will get back to you as soon as possible.

I’ll be in touch again as our working start date gets nearer and in the meantime please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Kind Regards

Michelle
