What we are doing
In early April 2022, we will be setting up our temporary works compound and parking area on land north of Swynnerton, and our main site access off Tittensor Road. We will then be starting main work to move the pipeline on land south of A51.
This will involve digging a trench for the new pipeline. We will then weld the new pipe together before installing it in the trench and connect and test the new pipe. There will not be any disruption to your utilities during our works.
Standard construction vehicles and equipment will be used, and all work will take place inside usual working hours. Vehicles will be travelling via the A51 to reach our main site access off Tittensor Road, and secondary access off Stab Lane. The secondary access will only be used occasionally.
How will this affect you?
Subject to approval from Staffordshire County Council, we’ll need to close Tittensor Road from 4 April 2022 for around 5 days, to maintain safety while we set up our main site access. A diversion route will be in place during this time (see map overleaf) and clearly signposted. The road will be open to traffic in the evenings, although temporary two-way traffic lights will be in operation.
Once we reopen Tittensor Road, a reduced speed limit of 30mph will be in place along the road until our work is complete in September 2022. This has been agreed with Staffordshire County Council.
