Good afternoon all, 

Its been a little while since I last provided you all with an update so I just wanted to pop on let you know how the final reinstatements and landscaping works have been going since the construction work on site was completed. 

The painting of the galvanised fencing surrounding the Pumping Station will be completed this week along with the planting of trees and shrubbery surrounding the fencing.

Grass seeding and wildflower planting along the verges and surrounding areas is expected to be carried out in the coming weeks however will be dependant on how kind the weather is to us!

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you all for being so patient and understanding whilst we have carried out this work in your area and for always being friendly and welcoming when I have spoken to you on my site visits to your community.

Thank you 

Becky 

Good evening All, 

Following recent feedback from residents regarding the visual aspect of the perimeter fencing surrounding the new pumping station area. All comments have been taken on board and I can now confirm that arrangements have been made for the fencing to be painted green to blend in with the natural surroundings. This will be completed over the coming weeks. 

We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to communicate your ideas with us. 

Regards 

Becky 

Good morning all,

• Following the above, temporary perimeter field boundary fencing will be installed along with the access gate to the land surrounding the Pumping Station as well as the planting of shrubs and greenery to provide screening of the fencing.
