Drainage improvement work - Hoddlesden

Drainage works designed to reduce a build up of rain water on Bayne Street, Hoddlesden, are currently underway.

The area, near to St Paul’s Primary School in Hoddlesden, will benefit from improvement works which will redirect excessive rain water, travelling along the rear of Bayne Street, to an existing gully.

Completion of the work is expected at the end of May.

In August, highway resurfacing works will be carried out by Capita Symonds on the footways outside the school and the main carriageway.

Adam Scott, strategic director of regeneration and environment, said: “We carried out an investigation into the root cause of the problem and came up with a solution which will bring lasting improvement for residents and the school.”
