Notice of pipeline diversion works near Rookery Lane, Hints

What we are doing

What are we doing?

Before we start the main work to move the pipeline, we need to carry out some preparation works on Land north of Rookery Lane. We will be carrying out preparation works for around three weeks from the beginning of March 2021.

The works involve:
• Removal of some vegetation on land north of Rookery Lane. Appropriate ecological surveys will be undertaken before any vegetation
clearance. Our ecologist will be present throughout the activity to ensure there is no disruption to local wildlife.

• Creating a site access at the private lane off Watling street. So that we can avoid the use of School Lane and Rookery Lane, we’ll be
constructing a bridge across Black Brook and laying track mat across the fields that vehicles will use to reach our working area at Rookery Lane. We will also be using temporary traffic lights on a section of Watling Street so we can create our site access safely. This has been discussed and agreed with Staffordshire County Council.

We will keep local people up to date as we progress to main diversion works.

How will this affect you?

We will only need to the temporary traffic lights occasionally and, wherever possible, outside of peak traffic times. Signs will be in place to make road users aware. Standard vehicles and equipment will be used, and we do not anticipate the works will cause disruption to local people.
