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 are moving along nicely towards finishing at Killingworth!

The basins to the South of the Lake are being seeded today and tuesday and we expect to remove our fencing and open this area by 14th June 2019.

We are also going well in the area of the play park and we are expect to start reinstatementing this area week commencing Monday 10th June 2019 with a view to opening the park by 1st July 2019.

As you may notice, we are currently working on dismantling the compound area and setting up a small satelite compound at the site entrance.

Hope you all have a lovely bank holiday weekend!

Regards

Tony
