Killingworth & Longbenton

Together with our project partners, the Environment Agency and North Tyneside Council, we are investing over £5 million to manage surface water in the Killingworth and Longbenton areas of North Tyneside. This work will increase the capacity of the combined sewer thereby reducing the risk of flooding during heavy rainfall. The work is to be completed in 3 phases; Longbenton High School and Benton Green & Cemetery, Forest Hall & Killingworth Moor and finally Killingworth Lake. Phase 1 and 2 are now completed and the work around Killingworth Lake started in Summer 2018.

Hi Everyone

We have had a productive week this week.

We have now resurfaced and handed back half of the car park back to Kier, who I bet were pleased about that! We're still working in the other half of the car park, but will get this done as quickly as we can!

We have also continued constructing the access track off Southgate and the good news is that we managed to get the traffic lights off earlier than expected.

Work will continue in the grassed area to the front of Ryder Court next week, when we will start constructing a manhole. Fencing will go up around our working area in due course.

We will also need to work by Station Road, so will need to use cones to narrow the carriageway slightly, although it will not be necessary to close any lanes or use traffic lights.

I've attached a couple of pictures taken on site this week

Have a nice weekend!

Tony
