Escomb Rising Main

Project to replace a failing pumping main from Escomb Pumping Station to Etherley Moor.

Update by Sarah Jayne Parvin

Hello, I would just like to thank everyone who attended our event at Escomb Primary school. It was fantastic to meet you all and your comments and feedback have been taken away. However, I must say they were all extremely positive and supporting of our planned work. I must also thank the Head teacher of the school who was very accommodating and supporting of the event and I excited to be working with her and the kids over the coming months on a community project.

Just to confirm we are starting work on site, week commencing 22nd October. The work is predominantly on farm land so visually this shouldn’t have much impact in the Village.

Our team on site are

Steve Coles – Site Agent

James Dowell – Site Engineer

Sarah Jayne Vickers – Customer Liaison Officer

During our programme of work there are going to be some interruptions to the public footpaths, I have included a map to show these. The footpath to the rear of Becket Close, will be fully closed for the duration of the programme, the path from Becket Close up over the Bridge Rail crossing, to the pumping station at the end of Dunelm Chare will be intermittently close, and we will provide notice as and when we intend of closing this. However, we do hope to keep this section open as much as possible. Where these paths both meet the cross section will be maintained and we will operation a level crossing as such to ensure safety of the residents.
