Good Evening,

It's been a little while since my last up date and Mark and the team have made great head way.

They have continued with the form work for the crest of the chamber walls, had a concrete pour into the chamber walls. Meticulously excavated and set the steel works for the shutters and concreted the pipe supports.

Here is a small collection of the progression to give you a little more understanding:-

Good Afternoon,

One or two have requested access to the video we uploaded. Apologies, it was too large for the system to accept. I am currently working on it to get amended.

Apologies, I will be in touch in due course.

Good Morning,

Today's weather is a little better than last week.

Work has been a little bit of a challenge this week as a result of the weather, however the team have made the best of it.

The excavation of the reservior bed material and stone up is in place now and on the crest of the enbankment by removing of the stone pitching is slowing reducing it's size.

There is a new Community Information board for you to keep an eye on for updates, getting to know the team and just generally discribing the project.

I thought I'd like to share some of Mark's photos.

Good Afternoon,

I'd like to share our great team's work over this last week................as the weather has been kind they have started to move things along and the work on the "portadam" is taking shape.

Please again don't try to enter the fenced off area leading to the works, I know it's a beautiful area but what you see is the start of major works and the last thing we want is for anyone to get hurt. 

Hope you have a lovely week. 

Good Morning Everyone,

If you are out and and about this week you will notice our team will be taking delivery and erecting fencing along the west side of the west reservoir. This is in preparation of the extensive excavation they will be creating for the new piping into the reservoir. It's the first mile stone of the project so Mark and his team will be extremely active around that enbankment in the coming weeks. .

I know this area is popular with ramblers, dog walkers and residents but if you can change your walking routes please do so, and please don't attempt to walk nearby that location/area afterall your health and safety is our priority, please consider we will be there for approximately 12months.

Drop me a line if you have questions.

Thanks

Good Afternoon,

Just thought I'd introduce our new Contract Manager James Lee, he has taken over the role from Lee.

Here is his photo, so if you see him please say "Hello".

Good Morning,

Here is a quick snap-shot of the great work the team have done in these last 4-5weeks, the weather has been kind so they have moved things on quite significantly:-

• The three passing places are all complete and if I say so myself looking neat and very tidy
• The traffic lights have been removed
• Site set up established with the compound ready to go
• Installed an access track 
• Bin store complete

Here are a few photos for your perusal, don't forget if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Good Afternoon,

Please note, Thursday and Friday this week we will be tarmacking the entrance to the front of the site. Whilst access will always be available please be a little more vigilant and aware of the works and consider adding a few more mins onto your travel time.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused and please do not hesitate to contact us should you require further information.

Ooops, just confirm the traffic lights will be on until the end of Feb, so please be that little more vigilant and add on a few extra mins for your journey!!!

Thanks

Joan

Good Morning,

Happy New Year to you all and I hope you had a restful Christmas.

Just thought I'd drop you a line to say as promised we have now started to set up the compound and site to begin the works. The weather hasn't been kind to us so we haven't had the best of starts, that said the team have "got cracking".

Mark McAlinden is the Site Manager who will be looking after the team, he has a wealth of knowledge and experience and has worked for MMB for over 10yrs now so you will see him quite a lot.

I will be popping in so please feel free to say Hello should you see me.

Here are a few photos kicking off the works and if you have any questions please feel free to ask away.
