Project Update 23/04/2026

Hi everyone,

We just wanted to provide an update on work Northumbrian Water is currently carrying out in your area in conjunction with North Tyneside Council and the Environment Agency.

As part of our investigations into bathing water quality issues in Cullercoats, we are currently undertaking exploratory excavation works to the rear of Beverley Terrace. These investigations are an important step in helping us better understand and address the issues identified.

To allow this work to be completed safely, a temporary road closure is in place to the rear of Beverley Terrace, between John Street and Marden Avenue. This road closure will remain in place until 28 April 2026. While the road will reopen from this date, work in the area will continue until 5 May 2026.

Our working hours on site are 8:00am to 5:00pm. Once all works in this area have been completed, we will provide a further update.

We understand that road closures can be inconvenient and would like to reassure residents that we are doing everything we can to minimise disruption. Our site team has also confirmed that if household bins are placed at their usual collection point during the road closure, they will ensure they are moved to a suitable location so they can still be emptied as normal.

Alongside these works, we are continuing with our monitoring and sampling regime as part of the wider investigation. This ongoing sampling will allow us to collect a full and reliable set of data over time.

We apologise for any inconvenience this work may cause and thank you for your patience while these important investigations continue. If you need any assistance during the works, our site team will be on hand and happy to help.

Thank you,

The Project Team
