Project Update 12/05/2025

From "Felton Environmental Improvements"

Go to the project

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our team. I am Cath Kirkland, a Northumbrian Water Project Manager and I will be looking after this scheme through to its completion. The scheme will be delivered by Northumbrian Water’s delivery partner MMB (Mott MacDonald Bentley).

We are working with communities to proactively manage environmental risk and are committed to providing a high-quality service. The project is catchment wide, we will be improving the performance of five Storm overflows and one pumping station. The initial investigation commenced in April 2025 working towards the construction phase of this project currently anticipated in the Autumn 2026 with completion no later than March 2030. The duration of work on the individual Storm Overflows will be notified in due course.

We will be keeping you updated as our plans progress by sharing our proposals with you on this Hub. The project team will be working in partnership with all our external stakeholders to ensure a successful project outcome.

We’d like to hear from you if you have any feedback about our proposal, have any queries, want to inform us of any drainage issues within the area or to make us aware of any additional assistance you require from us. Please get in touch by leaving your comments within the Community Hub or get in touch via our Customer Centre on 0345 717 1100 or visit www.nwl.co.uk to request a call back from the project team, I am very interested to understand your views.

Hi Ian. Great to hear about this development. I would be keen to hear more about this. I talked with Laura Mollon at the recent NWL information day at Felton Village Hall and was interested in some of the thoughts she had, some of which I assume are from your project. What is the best way to find out more?
