Hi,
Please let me introduce myself as the Project Manager responsible for this project.
This long duration activity will remove waste material from the reed beds that has built up during fifteen years of successfully co-treating Kibblesworth minewater and sewage from Birtley Sewage Treatment Works. The waste material from the reed beds is recyclable and once removed it shall provide free space within the reed beds for further treatment of minewater and sewage using this sustainable process.
More information on the background to this collaboration is available at this link:

The construction activity will be within our existing reed bed site boundaries, however we shall need to cross the Public Right of Way between our sets of reed beds.
Members of the public will be delayed on the right of way for a couple of minutes while our vehicles are crossing and we thank you for your patience and support.
The approximate frequency of construction vehicle crossings will be four back and forth crossings every hour during the working day (Mon-Fri, 8am-5pm). We will not be working on weekends.
The work is expected to start April 2021 and complete by July 2022.
For your own safety - during our vehicle crossings we will ensure you cannot enter our working areas or the area of the crossing vehicle.
We welcome your feedback – please use this portal to post your comments and we will read them and reply.
Regards,
Colin Burdon
