Investing in Newtonmore
The work is aimed at addressing historical flooding events in the village's Main Street.
Why are we doing this?
A number of residents in the area have previously been affected by sewer flooding and this improvement project will help reduce the risk of flooding in the future.
Latest Project Update
Despite work originally being scheduled for a November 2023 start date, it came to our attention that certain aspects of the project required further investigations before work could begin. These investigations are now complete and work on site was able to begin on Monday 8th January 2024.
The work is planned to be carried out in 4 phases, on a rolling basis, with the entire project expected to take 9 months to complete. Traffic management and parking restrictions will be in place during each phase of the work with pedestrian access being maintained at all times.
