Will my water supply be affected?

We do not plan to disrupt your water supply while work is carried out on this project.

Will the work cause disruption?

The work will require a number of parking spaces at The Stanners to be occupied for the project. During certain stages of construction work there will be an increase in traffic entering the construction site through Warkworth, however, we will try keep traffic movement to a minimum

Will access to my property be maintained?

Access to your property will be maintained at all times.

How will residents be kept updated?

You can also contact us on 0345 717 1100 and arrange a call back from our project team. If you will be directly affected by our work our site team will get in touch in advance of the work starting. We will also keep you informed with project progress with regular newsletters.

Will the site be dangerous?

The site will be operated by our framework partner RetroFlo, an experienced contractor working to tight health and safety standards. Working areas will be securely fenced off from public access at all times.

We do ask that everyone respects the site fencing, signing, guarding and instructions of our team when required for your own safety.

What will it look like when the works are complete?

The work will refurbish an operational site, but the appearance of the site will be very similar to how it looks now.  We will reinstate any damage caused to access roads and tracks during the work.

Will there be dust, vibration and noise?

The construction work we carry out can involve using large machinery, digging up ground, pouring concrete and working with granular materials which will result in some dust, vibration and noise. The site team will do everything they can to minimise any inconvenience caused by this and will make sure that the work is carried out safely.

Will the roads be kept clean during the works?

The work will involve disposal of materials, as a result of the works, which may cause dirt on the roads. The site team will employ a road cleaning specialist with mechanical road sweepers, should this be required, which will be used to maintain the roads affected.

Will I be able to access my drive or directly park outside my property?

The work will not affect the ability of residents to park outside their property or access their drives
