Approximate Trial Hole Locations
What We Are Doing
Over a period of around three weeks, small excavations known as trial holes will be carried out at five locations across the area, including points around the park, Riverview Drive, South Union Street, the car park east of the play park and National Cycle Route 1.
Work will begin on 8 June at various points around the park before continuing simultaneously at the other locations until all trial holes have been completed.
Some traffic management will be used to allow us to safely carry out some of these excavations. All work areas will be securely fenced off throughout to help keep everyone safe:
- No traffic management is required for trial holes around the park and the park will remain open throughout.
- Riverview Drive may be closed for up to three days outside the pumping station, with access maintained from the west entrance near the activity centre.
- The turning circle on South Union Street may be closed for up to three days, but the rest of the road will remain open.
- The car park east of the play park will have limited access for up to three days.
- National Cycle Route 1 will be closed for around five days between South Union Street and the railway bridge west of Tayview Caravan & Camping Park, with signed diversion routes in place.
Please note, all businesses - including Tayview Caravan Park - will remain open as usual while we carry out the work.
Why We Are Doing It
This work is an important step in planning future improvements and ensuring the system continues to operate efficiently.
