What We Are Doing
We are replacing existing storm overflows and upsizing the associated sewer pipework and manhole chambers at both Woodside Road and Laurencecroft Road in Stirling.

- Work at Laurencecroft Road is scheduled to begin in January 2026 and is expected to be completed with a year. A section of the cycle path route will be closed with a signed diversion in place.
Our site compound will be set up in between the two streets at Ochil Crescent for the duration of the works.

Why We Are Doing It
Working closely with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) Scottish Water identified priority storm overflows for improvement or replacement.
Under the banner ‘Draining the Rain, Enhancing the Environment’ the Improving Urban Waters investment will help reduce spills and prevent sewage related debris such as wet wipes from entering the environment during periods of rainfall.
