Updated Notice
A high pressure water leak has created an unsafe situation on Gilson Drive, Coleshill. As a result we need to carry out emergency repair works, these are being managed by Severn Trent Water.
To keep members of the public and our workforce safe, the road will be closed for the duration of the repair works, the target date for the works to be completed is 17 March 2023. These works are weather dependent and we will keep residents updated with progress at all times.
Inevitably these works will generate some noise and disruption, but we appreciate your patience and hope you understand every effort will be made to keep this to a minimum. Access to properties will be managed by Severn Trent Water, please talk to the team working on-site who will provide assistance and direction.
If you have any special circumstances such as disabled access, health visits etc, we encourage you to contact us and we will accommodate your needs.
We have previously communicated to you about work on a strategic sewer in the Gilson area. Severn Trent require the sewer to be moved because it is in the way of the HS2 railway line.
The sewer diversion will start in the fields just to the south of Coleshill Manor, then head north-east crossing under the M42 motorway, and then head north along the eastern side of Gilson, ending just to the north of the village.
These works will require a seven day working, which will take place between 30 September 2022 to 28 July 2023. Our working hours will be from 8am to 6pm Monday to Sunday, the plan overleaf shows the extent of the work site.
Severn Trent has a responsibility for delivering water and sewerage services to homes and businesses across the region and to ensure the impact of any work is kept to a minimum.
