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

Thanks to Richard for this week's progress update:

By the end of today (Friday 14 December 2018) we should have completed our work within the Kier Depot and also surfaced the access road off Southgate. This access road will remain in place once work is completed to provide permanent access into the park for maintenance.

Over the next week, we will continue to erect the boundary fencing around the working area south of the Lake in preparation for the cabins arriving and work on the basins commencing in January.

We are also working on our compound area off Station Road in preparation for our drainage works in January.

Work will be winding down in the coming week, as we will be closing the site down for our two week Christmas break from Friday 21 December 2018.

Hope you have a lovely weekend, enjoy the build up to Christmas!

Tony
