What We Are Doing
The initial phase of work involved installing a temporary site access road and establishing a site compound. Site cabins are positioned near the dead-end section of Langside Road, adjacent to the Bellshill bypass.
The next phase involved construction of the new storm storage tank and was followed by the installation of a new pipeline in the fields adjacent to Laighlands Road.
The project has now progressed into Glebe Avenue, where a new pipeline and manhole will be installed and will conclude with the installation of a new rising main pipeline on Langside Road.
In order to provide safe access to the work area for our operatives, site vehicles and equipment, a small number of trees and shrubs have been trimmed or removed.
Update - September 2026
Our major project to help prevent sewer flooding in Bothwell is progressing well. On Monday, 31 August, we entered the next phase of the programme of works. This involves the installation of a new wastewater pipeline on Glebe Avenue, along with additional manholes, and is expected to last approximately 12 weeks.
There will be roadworks taking place during these dates, and temporary traffic lights may be in operation.
We recognise that this essential work may cause some inconvenience and thank the community for their patience and understanding.
