Update by Joan Tatters

Good Afternoon,

Following on from Roger's blog, I thought it prudent to introduce the Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB) team who will be working on behalf of Northumbrian Water on this project.

Gary Theakston          -         Site Manager, he will be managing the day to day operations

Callum Godfrey           -         Apprentice Site Engineer, who will be assisting Gary.

John Goose                 -        Contract Manager, who will oversee the project from MMB's perspective

Joan Tatters                -         Customer Liaison Officer, who will be writing, talking and answering any questions you have about the project.

As Roger states, we will be starting the work Monday morning and our working day will be from 07.30hrs to 17.30hrs approximately, we don't have any plans to work weekends. To be honest you may not see much of us as the work is within the grounds of the works, about half a mile from the entrance gates. Speaking of which we plan to move the gates back and temporarily remove the cattle grid. This is to ensure we and other contractors enter and exit safely without disruption to other road users and residents. For those of you who walk  your four legged friends or otherwise, that access gate will remain open.

Gary and I dropped in some letters to residents last week explaining our work, so should you see us, it won't be too much of a surprise. It was lovely chatting to you and we would like to thank you in advance of your co-ooperation.

Don't forget ask away if you have any questions
