Project updates

Update by Ian Davison

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am Ian Davison, the Northumbrian Water Project Manager, I will be looking after this feasibility study which will be delivered by Northumbrian Water’s delivery partners Esh / Stantec. 

The data collection phase of this investigation is getting underway, you can expect to see Esh in and around Berwick and Spital gathering site information to allow our Technical Consultant Stantec to gain a better understanding of the performance of the network and identify the interventions required to improve catchment resilience reducing the likelihood of environmental incidents.  

We will be keeping you updated as our plans progress by sharing our whereabouts with you on this portal. The project team will be working in partnership with all our external stakeholders to ensure a successful project outcome. We’d like to hear from you if you have any feedback or want to make us aware of any drainage issues in your area.
