GENERAL PROJECT

CURRENT WEATHER

2°C

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.

Good afternoon,

Following the heavy rain at the weekend the site team have worked hard to complete the overflow from the lake this week. However due to the continued rainfall we have not been able to fully complete this operation due to the heavy rainfall and the aparatus being under water. Although we have connected the culverts to the lakes which are accepting surface water.

The rainfall this week has slowed our team on site, and the ongoing bad weather is restricting our reinstatement works, we will you updated next week. We have included some photographs of the newly constructed basins filling with the excess water.

Hopefully the rain will now ease off and we can get back to the summer weather!

Regards

Tony
