There’s a lot of activity across different sites as part of the Weyside Urban Village development. Here’s the latest roundup of the various projects in progress.

30 Woking Road demolition underway

Demolition work to take down a house at the entrance to Woking Road Depot started on 7 October. We appointed Collards, who specialise in demolition, to complete this work. The demolition should take three to four weeks.

Timing of works from 7 October:

• Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm
• no work will take place at weekends

There will still be access in and out of the council depot during the demolition and council services will not be affected. The demolition is part of our preparations, ahead of building the new council depot planned for 2025.

Progress on the new Thames Water sewage treatment works

Work is progressing well for the new Sewage Treatment Works (STW). You’ll be pleased to hear that the piling to get the ground ready for building is now done.

The tunnel linking the existing sewage treatment works to the new site is also complete. TW have now moved on to laying new pipes and building various concrete structures. Most of this work is being done on site. This means it will be quicker and safer to do and there will be fewer deliveries and less noise. Next year TW will start on installing mechanical and electrical equipment, as the programme of work progresses.

Clearing land next to Bellfields Road allotments

An area of land, previously part of Bellfield Allotments has been closed off and is being cleared. The work is being carried out by Clancy for the UK Power Networks, who provide electricity to the area. The clearance work will create a route for a new power cable which will run through the site. This will eventually connect to the new homes that will be built as part of Phase 1 of the Weyside Urban Village development.
