Update by Colin Burdon

1st April 2021

Hi,

Please let me introduce myself as the Project Manager responsible for this project.

University sewage treatment works aids Northumbrian Water in improving the quality of rivers and coastal waters for the benefit of people, the environment and wildlife.

We are upgrading the capacity of the sewage treatment works to meet the increased number of customers in the area due to additional new housing and student accommodation. 

Our work is commencing in April 2021 and is planned to complete in March 2022.

The construction activity will be within our existing site boundaries but the number of vehicles accessing our sewage treatment works will increase during this time and we politely ask you to be vigilant when you are on Hollingside Lane.

Our Northumbrian Water project team and our contractor Mott Macdonald Bentley,  will be adding progress updates to this website and you can use it to leave messages for our project team as well.

Your patience and understanding are appreciated.                                                                                                  

Regards,

Colin Burdon
