Building a stronger wastewater network in Rossall
We're constructing a new pipeline to take treated water from our Fleetwood Wastewater Treatment Works which would strengthen and improve resilience to the wastewater network in Rossall.
The pipeline will replace the existing treated water outfall and you may see our teams and specialist contractors carrying out upfront surveys and ground investigations at various locations around West Way, King George's playing fields and Broadwater Wood. We've now started the main construction activity.
We do understand that this type of activity can be disruptive for the community and road users and our teams will do all they can to minimise this. Thank you for your understanding as we carry out this important upgrade to the wastewater network in Rossall.
Update 9 June 2026
Our teams are now carrying out 24-hour working at shafts 3 and 4 (Melbourne Avenue). Working 24-hours means that we can complete this stage as quickly as possible and reduces the overall time we'll need to be onsite to complete the upgrade activity.
We understand that working these extended hours may cause some disruption, particularly from noise. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and want to reassure you that we're doing everything we can to keep disturbance to a minimum.
Our customer project information cabin continues to be open every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday between 10am and 2pm. It's located near our working area on West Way where our team will be available to answer questions and provide progress updates about our investment to build a stronger wastewater network in Rossall.
The next community drop-in session will be taking place at Fleetwood Rugby Club, Melbourne Avenue, Fleetwood, FY7 8AY on Wednesday 17 June 2026. You're welcome to drop in anytime between 10am and 7pm.
A spring clean at Broadwater Wood
One of our working areas for the specialist tunnelling to facilitate construction of the new pipeline is in Broadwater Wood. We do understand that a large area of shrubs and trees have been cleared, this was essential to create a safe working area and every effort was made to keep this to a minimum. As with all our upgrade projects, we include reinstatement and landscaping as part of our overall plans and are working closely with Wyre Borough Council. 
Members of our project team took part in a litter pick within the woods as part of the Great British Spring Clean with glass, plastic or metal items sorted and recycled.
We really appreciate the continued patience and understanding from the local community
Our team will be happy to answer your queries and provide updates at our project information cabin or community drop-in session.
