Update by Alice Blackett

Good Morning 

Please see below an update on our Storm Overflows Environmental Improvement Works:

Stanghow Road

The work taking place on the edge of the Meadows is scheduled to be completed by Friday 21 February 2025. All work at this point will be backfilled and will be reinstated once the weather picks up. There will be no work taking place at the Meadows over the near future until other works have been completed near by. We will endeavour to maintain the site while there is no work taking place. There is a public right of way through the Meadows that will stay open and maintained.

The road closure remains in place on Balmoral Road up to the Junction of Windsor Crescent. This section is scheduled to be complete on Friday 21st February when we will then move up to the next section of pipe.

The works on the attenuation tank are still progressing nicely. The team are still working within the field constructing Manholes and installing concrete to pipe work. On 3rd February we will be working within the public highway constructing manholes. Traffic management will be in place using 2 way traffic lights and expect this work to be complete within 10 working days.

We currently have 4 way traffic lights on the junction of Stanghow Road and High Street whilst we carry out trial hole surveys. These traffic lights are expected to be removed on Friday 21st February. 

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.
