Update by Alice Blackett

Good Afternoon

We bring to you another update on our Storm Overflows Environmental Improvement works.

Stanghow Road, Lingdale 

On week commencing 10 February 2025, we will be conducting some further Survey Works in the town. This will not affect public roads or footpaths.

We contniue to work on Balmoral Road installing the new pipework. We have installed the first section of pipework and have now moved further up the road to install the next section. 

We are still carrying out excavation works on The Meadow in preparation for the new pipework.

We are excavating for 675mm pipe and a 3m manhole in the lcoation of the Attenuation Tank.

Pithouse Lane

All drainage works are now completed with only the compound removal and field re-instatement works to be carried out once the weather permits.

Finchale View

Drainage installation ongoing with the completion of drainage and removal of the compound planned to be completed by the end of next week. As with Pithouse Lane the field re-instatement will have to wait until early spring prior to completion.

Moor Crescent/Barnard Avenue

Barnard Avenue pipework continues with the final connections being installed in the coming weeks.

The new storm pipe on Moor Crecent continues to progress down the bankside.

Once all work has been completed a full clean up of the road will be completed including reinstatements.

Etherley Lane, Bishop Auckland

The 2 way traffic management on Etherley Lane will be repositioned Thursday 20 February, and the road closure will be moved to the other entrance. Access for residents on Ediscum Garth will continue to be maintained.
