GENERAL PROJECT

Castle Eden Dene Sewer

The project will reduce the risk of flooding and pollution in Castle Eden Dene by providing additional capacity in the sewer network in the Sunny Blunts area of Peterlee.

Update by Sarah Jayne Parvin

Good Afternoon

In terms of progress, we're pleased to share that the Northern pipeline is substantially completed, and the final manholes are now tied in and connected. Reinstatement works around the cricket field have been started, although we've encountered some challenges with the sloppy, wet clay.

On a positive note, we've made great progress installing a substantial amount of the Southern tank, up to the last manifold now. We couldn’t have made this progress without excavating additional material than we originally planned, a bund of the materials was placed between the properties and excavation.

We're now looking ahead to starting work on the strengthening of the embankment at the Dene, which may require a footpath closure. However, we're exploring ways to minimise the impact on local walkers and the community, will keep you updated with more details as soon as we have them.

We appreciate your patience and support as we continue to work hard to complete this project.

Thank you for your ongoing cooperation.
