GENERAL PROJECT
CURRENT WEATHER
6°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 morning,

The good news is we are on site, however the sun has not joined us.  I will now be logged on live to answer any questions you may have.

Please feel free to join us on site or post any questions on here.

Customers have already started to arrive and talk to us, the weather is not stopping anyone :-)

We will be joined throughout the day from various organisations, currently we have our Project Manager, Lynn from Northumbrian Water, our designers and of course me.

Later today we will be joined by the Environment agency, the council and the fire brigade.  The Firefighters will be carrying out a demonstration in the lake between 1-4pm, it will definately be worth droping by.

Good afternoon,

I hope everyone enjoyed the bank holiday weekend?

Just a gentle reminder that the project team will be in the car park at Killingworth lake tomorrow between, 11.30am to 7pm.  It is a chance for the local community to come and see latest plans for the work in the area.

For those who are unable to make it.  I will be logging in on the portal to enable customers to be involved.  If you think of any questions you would like to ask, I will be on this page from 11.30 onwards.  It would be great for everyone to get involved.

Lets hope the sun is shining.  Please come and join us for a cuppa and a chat.

Good morning,

We have some exciting news!

Following the update from Lynn Preston regarding the Customer Drop In Session on the 30th May, we know that not everyone can make it.  This may be due to work, family commitments or because the sun is in the sky (hopefully)!

What does it matter why?  You can still be part of the event because......

WE ARE GOING LIVE!!!!!

As we have the project team in one place, I will be logged onto this community portal ensuring that we, the project team, are available to answer any questions.

Any common questions will be posted as the day progresses, and customer's who are unable to make the event can contact me direct by posting on the update.

We should be live from 11.30 through until 7pm.

I will keep you updated closer to the time.  Please don't be shy, come and join us in the car park near to the lake or on-line, keeping me company and challenging our team.

See you all soon

Hi Everyone

As you may know, we have been reinstating Benton Village Green following our work there to upgrade the sewer network. Today we installed three notice boards on the green which can be used for displaying notices and information to the local community. I'm sure you will agree with me that they look very impressive! The artwork inside was produced with help from Percy Hedley School, we will be arranging for the children who completed the art to see their work in place.
