RAINWISE SCHEME
CURRENT WEATHER
8°C

Monks Wood, North Shields Surface Attenuation

We are currently on site adjacent to Beach Road. Our scheme is to separate surface water flows from the combined sewerage system and store the excessive flows during storms. To do this, we are constructing new surface water and combined sewers together with a series of cascading basins in which to hold back the flows until the storm subsides and the existing sewerage system can accept the storm water.

Update by Anthony Birkett

Hi Everyone

You will definitely be noticing changed around the compound lately. The large cabins have now gone and been replaced by two smalled cabins located nearer Beach Road. We're now continuing with our work contructing the basins and will be working towards this area in the coming days and weeks.

With this in mind, we will need to cross the footpath from Whitecliffe Close. This means that the footpath will be closed for up to three weeks from Monday 23 September 2019. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused and will open it up again as soon as we can.

I've attached a few photos showing the areas I've been talking about

Take Care

Tony
