Building a stronger, greener and healthier Darwen

We're improving the sewer network at Cotton Hall Street , Laurel Avenue and Higher Perry Street by providing additional underground storage. We are also upgrading existing storm overflow infrastructure and rerouting wastewater flows to help reduce storm overflow spills and improve local water quality.

Install additional storage within the sewer network, upgrades to existing storm overflow infrastructure and changes to how flows are managed through the system.

At the following locations:

  • Laurel Avenue, BB3 3AG
  • Anyon Street, BB3 3AA
  • Higher Perry Street, BB3 3AE
  • Cotton Hall Street - BB3 0DW
