Happy New Year!

As you might have noticed, we are now back on site and you are likely to see a lot more of the construction team as we work through the first few months of the year.

We are currently working on the Meadow and preparing for the installation of the new storm drain. We have installed safety fencing around our working area with a crossing point for the general public and dog walkers to continue to make use of the Meadow whilst works are in progress. 

We have implemented a rolling road closure on Balmoral Road whilst we carry out our pipework installation. We would like to thank all residents for their cooperation.

Our team are currently carrying out excavation works for the Attenuation Tank on Stanghow Road.

Survey works on Stanghow Road will be carried out week commencing 20th January 2025, where 2-way traffic lights will be in place.

We have also been busy carrying out survey works this week on Sandringham Road and the 2-way traffic lights will be removed today, Friday 10th January. 

Further survey works will be carried out throughout January in various parts of Lingdale. 2-way traffic lights will be in place on Monday 13th January on South Stanghow Road for 3 days. There lights will then move further south on Stanghow Road on Wednesday 16th January for 2 days.

We would like to thank all residents of Lingdale for their patience and understanding whilst we carry out these works.

Moor Crescent/Barnard Avenue, Ludworth

The team have continued to install the new pipework along Barnard Avenue within 40 metre sections to minimise disruption. Due to the cold weather the last couple of weeks, the team have experienced unforeseen delays with concrete deliveries but are positive they will remain on track.

Etherley Lane, Bishop Auckland

Week commencing Monday 06 January the team have begun the set up of the compound area, you may see the occasional increased deliveries bringing in materials and equipment. This week the crew have begun trial holes in order to understand ground conditions and services within the area. While work progresses on Etherley Lane, the team will be working within 2-way traffic lights.

All drainage works and benching to manholes are now complete. The CSO screen is to be installed by the end of January when we will then start on reinstatement works.
