The construction phase of this project is now complete.
There may still be updates, so the project will remain here. We are still monitoring the project and will reply to any comments. So if you have any questions please feel free to comment or contact us here.
Together with our supply partners Interserve we plan to carry out essential ground works maintenance, investigation and improvements to Lockwood Beck reservoir, starting on site on the 24th August and lasting for around 16 weeks. For the safety of all visitors, site users and those working on the project, the decision has been made to close the site for the duration of the work. I would like to thank adjacent residents and visitors for their patience while we undertake this essential work.

These works are needed to ensure the resilience and efficiency of the reservoir. We will be carrying out ground work and excavation to the area on the north shore and will use the majority of the site car park to facilitate our works. There will be temporary traffic lights on the A171 during periods when we have large vehicles accessing the site.
We expect this work to be complete in December 2020. However, as we all adapt during these challenging times, we will continue to monitor Government guidance and the timings of our work may change. Be assured that our site teams are adhering to the social distancing guidance and we ask that others maintain a social distance from our people whilst we are on site. In summary, this work is classed as essential and we are following UK Government guidance regarding COVID-19.
