Good morning, 

As you are aware Esh-Stantec on behalf of Northumbrian Water have traffic management on Greenford Lane, outside of the Ravensworth Arms. On Thursday 1 December 2022 we will be moving the traffic management from the current location to the junction of Greenford Lane and Kibblesworth Bank, for a period of 1 week to complete trial holes.

Following the completion of the trial holes the team will return the traffic management to outside of the Ravensworth Arms until Friday 23 December 2022.  Our traffic management and working area will be removed from Greenford Lave over the Christmas and New Year period.  Our team will return to site on Monday 9 January 2023 to the Greenford Lane location.
