Hi, further to my update in November about the work we plan to undertake to improve the performance of the sewer network, we have completed our ground-level site investigations and now we now need to collect further information. This will involve excavating several trial pits on Crawford Street.

The trial pits are required to locate buried critical services. Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB) Our Framework Partners will carry the work out on our behalf in early February and take approximately ten working days to complete.

Those houses that directly face the proposed trial pits will soon receive a letter with further details.

Please be assured that our site teams are adhering to government guidance regarding covid-19. Where the nature of the work does not allow for social distancing, we will ensure the relevant Personal Protective Equipment is worn, and hygiene practices are followed.

Hi everyone,

I'm Chris Bond and I'm Northumbrian Water's Project Manager for the work we are planning to carry out in your area. Along with the rest of the project team we will be keeping you updated as the project progresses.

You will have recently received a letter explaining about the work we plan to undertake to improve the performance of the sewer network in Blyth. We’d really like to hear your views on this essential work and how we can work with you to minimise any disruption you and your community may experience. I’ve added a plan which shows where we are planning to carry out work which you can download here. If you have any queries or comments or would like to speak to someone from the project team please get in touch using the ‘Contact us’ button at the top of the page. We’d really like to hear from you.
