Morning Everyone If you've been following this project you may remember that we have completed the main body of the work around Chrsistmas time and committed to carry out the reinstatement work when the weather improved. That work is scheduled to begin from Monday 1 June and we hope to be complete by Friday 3 July, subject to the Covid-19 situation. Please find below a copy of the letter issued to residents earlier today for more information on the work to be carried out. Thanks Amanda Our Ref: SN017/0072 29 May 2020 Dear Customer Important Information about our work in this area I hope you and those close to you are staying safe and well during these challenging times. Whilst I’m sorry for the short notice, I wanted to let you know about some very recent and positive developments. You may remember that I wrote to you during November 2019. I explained the need for us to return in the spring of this year to complete reinstatement as the final part of the work we undertook in West Wylam last year. I’m sure you will be aware of the current restrictions in force that are affecting the vast majority of businesses in the country, including Northumbrian Water. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, all our work has been carried out in line with Government and NHS advice. This remains the position and has certainly placed restrictions on some of our work activities. In the case of our work in West Wylam this has prevented us completing the final part of our project as quickly as we anticipated however, I’m now pleased to be able to confirm our intention to return to site. The work will be carried out by our supply partner, Interserve, who will return to site on Monday, 1 June 2020. We anticipate completing the work by Friday, 3 July 2020 however, as I’m sure you will appreciate, due to the current situation affecting the country, we remain open to the possibility that unexpected delays may occur. During our time on site, we will be based in the main pumping station at the bottom of Hagg Bank. The work itself will consist of; the reinstatement of the ‘Grasscrete’ carpark in the allotments; cultivating, re-seeding and planting of trees in the area between the allotments and the road and reinstatement work within the football field. Please bear in mind that it may take a little time for the seeding and grass to re-establish. All of the work outlined above will be undertaken using a small excavator, which is considerably smaller than those used during the main works. You can also expect to see a small ‘dumper’ and road-roller in use. As a result of the Covid-19 restrictions, our supply partner’s liaison representative will not be available on site. We would therefore request that, if you require any further information or assistance, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our customer centre via email by logging onto www.nwl.co.uk. You can also find out more information about our project on our community portal at www.nwlcommunityportal.co.uk and following the link to the ‘West Wylam Sewage Pumping Station’ page. Updates will be posted there and you will find advice and answers to some frequently asked questions. You can also follow us on twitter @nwatercare and @NorthumbrianH20. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your patience and support throughout this work; it’s really appreciated. Yours faithfully Simon Cossar Project Manager

Hello everyone Work is now progressing well with lots of activity along Eastwoods Road next to the allotments which is where the pipeline is up to now. We will be reinstating from the entrance to the allotments back towards the playing fields while pushing on down the hill towards the overbridge. We are hoping to be finished the main part of the work by the end of this month and be clear from site by Christmas with just some reinstatement and tidying up work afterwards. We have adjusted the timeline accordingly

Hello everyone We have finished the stage of work on the playing fields and have started reinstatement. It looks a bit muddy at the moment but once its seeded and grown back it will look lovely. We are currently making good progress but previous problems with excavation has held us up and we are a little behind schedule. Hopefully we should be finished at site by early November, we will keep you updated on this. Thank you for bearing with us during this phase of the works we understand the extra road traffic, noise and disruption has been an inconvenience. The disruption should decrease now as we are finishing off on the playing field area next week and moving on to the stage from the allotments down to Wylam Woods taking our work away from the houses. I hope you all have a lovely weekend; the weather looks great let’s hope it continues Brian
