The work is being split into two phases, with the first 200 metres which started at 8pm on February 3 and finishing at 8pm on February 9. The next 300 metres of pipe re-lining will be scheduled for a later date, yet to be confirmed.
Alex Saunders, head of wastewater networks said: “We apologise for any further disruption this will cause residents, businesses and commuters – but are taking this action now to avoid more challenging times in the future. We will continue to update our website with any further information.”
