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 as we begin to set up the working areas before the main construction activity begins.

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 plan and carry out this important upgrade to the wastewater network in Rossall.

Update 27 April 2026

Working hours: To allow us to complete work as quickly and efficiently as possible, we'll be extending our working hours until the end of May and will be working from 6am until 10pm at the following locations; Melbourne Avenue (shaft 3) and West Way (shaft 5).  We'll do all we can to keep noise and disruption to a minimum during these working hours. 

Customer project information cabin: Our customer cabin on West Way, near shaft 5 will be open on Thursday 30 April and Friday 1 May between 10am and 2pm. From Tuesday 5 May the information centre will be open every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday between 10am and 2pm. Our team will be available to answer questions and discuss our investment to build a stronger wastewater network in Rossall.

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.
