Marden Quarry

We are investing £2.5 million to separate Marden Quarry and other sources of surface water from the public sewer network. This will improve the performance of our sewer network and help reduce the risk of flooding. This project is the second and final phase of work being carried out in North Cullercoats.

Investing in drainage

WE ARE WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NORTH TYNESIDE COUNCIL TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FLOODING IN THE NORTH CULLERCOATS AREA.

This two stage project started in May 2015. The first stage involved investing £2.5 million to upgrade the sewer network and we expect to complete this stage of work by the end of March 2016. Our experienced partner, ESH-MWH, has been carrying out this work on our behalf.

The second and final stage of this project will involve investing £2.5 million to prevent surface water (rainfall) from Marden Quarry entering the upgraded sewer network. The surface water from Marden Quarry will be diverted into the North Sea. Work on the second stage of this project started on 29 February 2016 and we expect to complete this by 25 November 2016.

  • If we need to work on your land or in your property, we will return your land and/or property back to the condition they were immediately before the work began. We will agree this with you before we begin.
  • Our employees and partners will always act in a professional, courteous and helpful manner, keep their promises and ensure that any issues are resolved within a reasonable and agreed timescale.
  • Your opinion is important to us. We will ask for feedback on the performance of our employees and partners, as well as the impact our work has had on your and your community.
  • We will make sure work is carried out safely and that our working areas are secure and tidy.
