High Street

At this location:

We are updating a Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) and associated pipework.

There is a history of localised flooding during extreme weather. The CSO will safely divert excess storm water protecting homes and businesses.

Work is due to begin in February 2025.

Update October 2024

We will be carrying out further investigation work to deliver the planned updated Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) and associated pipework on High Street.

Springwell Place – and a short section of Bridgend – will be closed to vehicles from Monday 7 October 2024 for approximately six weeks.

The investigation work will then move onto High Street under two-way temporary traffic lights for a further fortnight. Parking restrictions will also be in place for this period between Springwell Place and Dunlop Street.

The investigations involve CCTV surveys of the sewers and excavating trial pits to confirm the location and depth of utilities. This information will ensure the project itself can be delivered as quickly as possible.

We appreciate the traffic management will cause some disruption for residents and road users but can only thank them in advance for their patience and understanding.
