What we are doing

What we are doing
We recently wrote to you at the beginning of April about starting works between 15 and 26 April 2024, to remove an existing borehole. Getting the necessary third-party consent and approvals delayed the start of these works. We apologise for the delay in completing these works and any inconvenience this may have caused.

These works will now be completed between 29 April and 17 May 2024. Once this is completed, we will then fill in the borehole.

We will use a drill to remove existing backfill material. The drill will be on site for one week. These works will be noisy. We will place acoustic barriers around our works to minimise noise and dust. We will monitor the works closely to ensure we operate within approved noise and vibration limits. These works will take a day to complete.

We will use a pump and a small pipe to fill in the borehole which may take up to three hours. The barrier around the borehole will remain in place until we return on the third day to check the work and to ensure that the hole has been completely filled in. We will then repair the area.

Access to your property will not be affected by these works.
How these works might affect you A drill will be used during these works which will be noisy. We would like to apologise in advance for the disruption or inconvenience this may cause.
