United Utilities works : West Vale, Beeston & St Leonards

Many residents have complained about the longstanding and delayed UU works on West Vale, Beeston and St Leonards.

Yesterday I met on site with the project manager Pam. She has explained that there have been three delays, and apologises for having to again extended the works permit.

1) The job was initially intended to be “slip replacement” where new plastic pipes are fed/slipped inside old iron pipes. Unfortunately the old pipes were in such a poor condition that this wasn’t possible to achieve. This greatly increased the scope of work and time.
2) The crew they had were called away to an emergency burst near Chester (which is now repaired)
3) A new crew is back and now working at pace, but they are currently delayed as the valve (photo attached) is so badly deteriorated that it needs an emergency replacement (or they need to temporarily cut more people off, which the site manager is keen to avoid)

The upshot of these delays is that the site manager knows she will not be able to complete West Vale by the 10th July (her current permit limit) and that she will have to extended this, now for the fourth time. They do expect to complete Beeston by its permit date of 30th July.

An added advantage of walking the site with UU was they accepted a number of spot fixes (including destroyed pavements and defects). I have also raised the "undermining" of the trees/roots.

I have direct communications with the management team on this job now, and have told them I will be passing your concerns/issues on. So, if you have any problems or questions, please just ask, it will reach them.

Thank you & Regards,
Cllr Julian Newgrosh

Finally after weeks of being pushed between the Highways team and the Parking team, the entry to Thorley Lane car park has had its repair done.
It is so annoying that the 2 council departments couldn't decide who was paying for it sooner to be honest.

King regards and thank you for your patience

Thorley Lane Car Park CLOSED : Monday 22nd June : for Repair

Just a warning that parking around Timperley is going to be difficult on Monday. Please be considerate and allow extra time.

Finally, after a lot of emails to Highways and Parking at the Council, they have finally agreed to repair and re-instate the drainage channel at the entrance/exit of Thorley Lane car park.

Unfortunately, the work is going to require the car park to be closed on Monday.

Thank you for everyone that emailed in about this.

Great being out today supporting the Civic Society's work, plenty more to do over the rest of the year.

A huge thank you to Chris Walker Plants for arranging for 1 ton of topsoil to be delivered to Timperley Green this afternoon. We are extremely grateful for his help. All soil has now been put into the raised bed. More plants will be planted during the next week or so. It’s definitely looking good 🌱🌵🍃🪏🌳 x
