Update by Rachel Rutter

Good afternoon,

I thought now is the perfect time to update you on the 5 projects and how the teams are progressing.

Moor Crescent/Barnard Avenue, Ludworth

The team have been working on 1050 tank and although they have faced some challenges due to weather and uncharted services this is due to be completed by Friday 8 November. The sewer separation on Moor Crescent and Barnard Avenue is being worked on over the coming weeks.

Pithouse Lane, West Rainton

The work to install new manholes in the highway is now complete and the traffic management will be removed from 15:00pm today. Next week the team will begin work on preparing the new CSO, ready for installation over the coming weeks.

Stanghow Road, Lingdale

Over the last couple of weeks, the team have set up the main compound area ready for work to begin. They have also created a stone road on Stanghow Road to allow entrance into the working area. Next week the team will be working on surveying manholes and drainage. If you see them in the area why not say hello!

Etherley Dene, Bishop Auckland

Although the team are working hard in the background, you won’t see them working in the road for the next few weeks due to urgent third-party work in the area. We understand how busy the roads can be this time of year and didn’t think it practical to have two companies working so close together at once. As always, the team and I will keep you updated when our work progresses.  

Finchale View, West Rainton

Work on Finchale View will begin WC 04 November, over the next week the team will be setting up the compound area and bringing in the required materials for work to begin.

Thank you for your time, have a great weekend!

Rachel and Alice
