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.

Update by Anthony Birkett

Hi Everyone

Thanks to Bobby for this week's progress update:

Within the Kier Depot we expect to complete the resurfacing work on Thursday next week. We will also be working in the the excavation near to Sig, where we need to increase its size to accomodate larger pipes.

Our work area off Station Road will need to be extended a little so we can return there to carry out more work on the manhole there - this will be restricted to the football field area so won't impact on traffic.

The area where the compound will be located should be finished today and the cabins will arrive in January 2019, after our Christmas break. We are close to completing the access road off Southgate and have booked our Tarmac contractors to surface this next friday. This will mean a single lane closure and two-way traffic lights on Southgate from 09:30 until 15:00 on Friday 14 December 2018.

We will also start work on fencing off an area around the Lake on Monday.

I've attached some pictures of this week's work.

Have a good weekend

Tony
