At this location:

We are updating a Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) and associated pipework.

There is a history of localised flooding during extreme weather. The CSO will safely divert excess storm water protecting homes and businesses.

Update December 2024

We started site investigation work in Springwell Place in October which was expected to take approximately six weeks.

However, a decision was made to move directly into the delivery phase, installing the new pipework without further delay. This phase is programmed to be completed at the end of January under the current road closure arrangements.

We will temporarily reopen the road from Friday 20 December 2024 to Monday 6 January 2025 for the Christmas holidays.

Local access for businesses and residents has been maintained throughout these works.

We remain committed to working with the community to deliver these long-term benefits to the town and once again thank all those affected for their patience and understanding.
