Update to our works at Old Fordell Tunnel

Thank you for your patience and understanding whilst our works continue to manage the underground mine water levels.

We are currently reviewing options and work for a permanent pipeline solution. Once these have been finalised, we will share further details at a community meeting planned for late April.

Community Liaison Officer

Next week our Community Liaison Officer, Sarah McDaid, will be on leave from Monday 23 March and return on Monday 30 March. We are still available to speak with residents and help with any questions or concerns they may have, please contact our customer service team at customerservice@miningremediation.gov.uk or call 01623 637000.
