Springwell Enhancements Project

Northumbrian Water proposes to construct a new underground service reservoir on land it owns off Mount Lane, along with related pipe work in the local area, in a £56m project to commence Spring 2023, following preparatory work on site. The proposed project will not only make the water supply to customers in Springwell Village and the surrounding areas more secure, but will also enable us to support the wider Wearside and South Tyneside areas with a more reliable and resilient water supply for many years to come. The reservoir would strengthen and future-proof the company’s existing network in the area, providing storage for around 50,000 properties in South Tyneside. In addition the new reservoir will enable us to provide improved resilience to the water networks to the east of Springwell Village, benefiting a further 200,000 properties in South Tyneside and Wearside.

Good morning, We hope everyone had a peaceful and enjoyable Christmas and New Year.

As we return from the holiday period, we would like to update you on the temporary management of public rights of way at Eighton Banks and an upcoming road closure:

Public Rights of Way:

The footpath outside the Mount Community Centre towards the stables will remain closed throughout.
Either Footpath 1 or Footpath 2 will be closed at any given time, but never both simultaneously. This ensures access between Eighton Banks and Springwell Village is maintained. Please see plan for further details.

Road Closure:

A road closure will be implemented on Monday, 6th January, at the junction between Sandy Lane and Galloping Green Road.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
