Killingworth Road - wall repair

Good afternoon,

I wanted to give you an update on our plans for reinstating the wall in the back lane. NWG has engaged one of our strategic partners in civil engineering, who have significant experience and expertise in this kind of work, to investigate the options to solve what could be an extremely complex rebuilding situation.

As we look to develop plans for this scheme we will need to speak with a number of important stakeholders for agreement to proceed, including Newcastle City Council and the Environment Agency, and we will shortly be having discussions with them about this.

The time of year, and in particular the weather conditions and the level of the river will also influence how we are able to plan to carry out these works and need to be carefully assessed.

Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to identify and deliver a robust, sustainable solution in a timely manner, taking all of the complexities into account. We will be in touch with a further update by the end of November, and will continue to keep you informed on the programme as we develop the details. In addition, as soon as we are able to make any improvements regarding parking and access we will let you know, but as you would expect we will continue to make safety our priority.

In the meantime if you have any comments or questions, please leave them below, or contact us at reviewteam@nwl.co.uk.
