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 Bobby who has provided this week's progress update:

We are now working on constructing manholes 3, 4 and 5. We have started on manhole 3 which is close to the SIG site in the industrial estate and will then move on to manhole 4 which is just off Station Road. Manhole 5 is situated within the Park area and as you will see, we are still working in this area too. Its a very tight working area here, so please bear with us.

The Earthworks within the Lakeside are progressing well and we will be soon start working on the Footpaths within the Lakeside.

I've attached a few photos kind sent over by Bobby.

Regards

Tony
