Detail
The works will now start on 2 June with Stage 1 finishing by 19 June 2026, depending on weather and on-site conditions. A delayed start has allowed for more off-site planning and coordination to speed up the works, which will mean that the full project up to 410 Harewood Road will now be completed by the end of September 2026, two months earlier than originally planned. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the delayed start. The full project extent is shown below.
The works will occur in stages, the first two stages are shown in the map below.
For Stage 1, we will be closing the footpath and road shoulder. All other stages will involve rolling lane closures that move as the work progresses, with two-way traffic maintained at all times.
- Sections of approximately 300m will be fenced off and services fully reinstated before shifting down.
- Our team will notify each property in advance as we progress along the route. Additional letter drops will also be distributed to keep you updated.
- Please let the contractor know if you have any specific requirements for property access, (e.g. medical visits, home help,
large vehicle deliveries or other planned work on your property).
There will also be some night works to connect the new pipeline to the existing system, we will inform you of these in advance.
Please adhere to signage and allow extra time to avoid delays.
Water shut-offs
Some properties will experience a temporary water shut-off during the night works. If your property is impacted, you will receive a notice about this before the work starts.
Impacts of the works
- The nature of the works mean they will generate noise, dust and vibrations.
- We aim to complete most of the work during the day, limiting the amount of night works.
- The rolling closure allows the team to have a safer working environment, and they will be able to complete the works faster with this method.
- Access to residences and businesses may be briefly impacted. The contractor will make access available as soon as possible. Please advise them using the contact details above if you have any specific property access requirements.
- Pedestrian detours will be in place, please adhere to signage.
Please see the map below of the areas that we'll be working in. We will update you before starting each stage. QR codes will be distributed around the site at varying locations. Please feel free to scan them to be updated on progress as we move down Harewood Road.
Noise
There may be increased noise, dust and vibrations during work but it shouldn’t impact on your power, water, gas or phone services.
Safety
Safety is our biggest priority so please keep children and pets away from worksites.
Bins
Please put your bins out as usual before 6am on your collection day. Our crew will move and return them if needed.
