Good afternoon,

Following our departure from site I thought it would be nice to check in with you all.

We are in the process of writing to you all, to thank you for you patience and understanding whilst we carried out our work.  As you can imagine the current situation has slowed our process down.  However, we would like to take this opportunity to wish you all well.  From working within your community, we all feel part of it.  I know that you will all be displaying your rainbows in the windows, that your children, grandchilden or others may have drawn.

Whilst walking my dog I noticed one this morning, I thought it would be lovely to see if you would all share your rainbow images with us, just to let us, the team, know you are all safe.

Please join in and share your rainbow.

Stay safe and take care.

Christine

Good morning,

I wanted to provide a quick update with regards to the traffic lights at the junction of Roseberry Crescent to Stokesley Road.  Northumbrian Water has now completed the repair.  The reinstatment will be carried out today and tomorrow.  We anticipate that the lights will be removed tomorrow.

Today you will see our team carrying repairs on the footpaths around the estate.  These repairs will not cause any long term disruption.  We have around 20 small repairs to carry out, which should all be completed by the end of play today.

As always we thank you for your patience whilst we carry out these work. Please contact me if you have any concerns regarding these works.

Have a great weekend.

Christine

Good morning,

Just an update on our whereabouts in the estate this week.

Today we are carrying out some manhole reinstatements on Roseberry Road.  We expect this work to take 2 days and have notified some customers we are impacting.  

Next week we will start the pathway reinstatements, which will be short sections of work, that should not impact our customers too much.  I will be in touch to let you know when and where these works will be.

You will have also noticed the 3 ways traffic lights at the junction to Roseberry Crescent from the Stokesley Road.  This is not connected to our works within the estate, although it is still for Northumbrian Water.  They are carrying out an emergency repair, however this work has now been delayed as we await the attendance of Northern Gas Networks.  Once they have attended we can repair the sewer and remove the traffic lights.  We apologise for any inconvenience caused, however this is emergency work.

If anyone would like to discuss these works, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Christine

Good morning,

We are now at the end of our works on Wheatlands.

By the end of the day we will have removed all the fencing and signage from this area.  Thank you for your patience and understanding whilst we carried out this section of work. 

You will still see us in the area for the next couple of weeks, as we carry out some remedial works on pathways etc.  The local authority will be meeting our site team to discuss the remedials prior to completion. 

Northumbrian Water do have some work to do in the estate, however we will keep customers updated.

Have a great weekend.

Christine

Good morning,

I have been to site this morning and seen that the team have made great progress.  You will see that today the road is being reinstated and the tarmac being laid.  This is great news!

As of tomorrow, Wheatlands will be reopened and residents can park back on drives.

Once this work is completed we have some remedial works to carry out on the estate.  I will keep you updated of our whereabouts over the next few weeks.

Once again thank you for your patience whilst we continue our works.

Speak soon

Christine

Good morning,

I thought it would be beneficial to provide an update of our progress. 

We have now been working on this section of Wheatlands for 2 weeks.  During this section we need to close 2 short sections of the footpath to carry out connections to the new sewer, whilst the road is closed.  We closed one section earlier this week which will be reopened for Friday night.  To reduce impact to our customers the site team have opened a section of our road closure, to provide a cross over point.

Next week we will need to close the second section of footpath for a couple of days, we will provide an update to customers impacted by this section of work.

I will keep you updated of our progress over the next couple of weeks.

Christine

Good afternoon,

Just to provide a quick update.  We have now reopened the footpath on Wheatlands.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Have a great weekend.

Christine

Good morning and happy Monday,

I was on site last week, along with my colleague Becky to speak to some residents.  As of Wednesday this week, the 29 January 2020, we will be moving up to the next section of Wheatlands.  As you will have guessed, yes this is our final section!!

Don't worry, if you are to be impacted by this section of works, me and my team will have been in touch; in person, by phone or letter.

Where we are currently working, we will be tarmacing on Tuesday, to enable us to move on Wednesday.  As we progress up towards the junction of Orchard Close, we have notified residents that we will maintain access to the close.  To ensure this is possible we will be using a priority system when working on the manhole.

Our works on this section will take approximately 5 weeks.

As always, please feel free to contact me if you want to discuss our works further.

Christine

Good afternoon,

I have had news from site that has made me quite sad...

Once again cakes have been delivered to our guys from one of the lovely customers. 

Why am I sad I hear you say??

Because I am not there to enjoy them.  They look amazing and apparently they taste even better.  I am back on site on Friday, what are the chances of the lads leaving me one?

Zero!!

On a serious note, we want to thank you and all the other other customers for your kindness and generousity.

See you all soon.

Christine

Good morning,

Over the last couple of weeks I have been out and spoke to more residents on Wheatlands.  Our customers will have noticed we have moved further up, along Wheatlands last Thursday.  Once again I would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding whilst we carry out our works.  You will also notice we currently have our partners Kwikflow on site working alongside our site team carrying out investigations.  

We anticipate that we will be working in this section for up to 5 weeks.  If anyone would like to discuss this section or the final upcoming section do not hesitate to contact me.  

I will be in touch again in the next few weeks to keep everyone updated.

Christine
