What We Are Doing
We are replacing existing storm overflows and upsizing the associated sewer pipework and manhole chambers at both Woodside Road and Laurencecroft Road in Stirling.
- Work at Woodside Road began in October 2025, and was completed in August 2026. A section of footpath at Woodside Road was closed during the works with a signed diversion in place.
- Work at Laurencecroft Road began in January 2026, and was completed in September 2026. A section of the cycle path route was closed with a signed diversion in place.
Our site compound was located in between the two streets at Ochil Crescent for the duration of the works.
The Laurencecroft Road site was next to Stirling Old Bridge
Work began on Woodside Road in October 2025
Why We Are Doing It
Working closely with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) Scottish Water identified priority storm overflows for improvement or replacement.
Under the banner ‘Draining the Rain, Enhancing the Environment’ the Improving Urban Waters investment will help reduce spills and prevent sewage related debris such as wet wipes from entering the environment during periods of rainfall.
Latest Update - September 2026
We have now completed work on installing the new storm overflows and all the associated sewer pipework at both Woodside Road and Laurencecroft Road.
All footpaths and cycle paths have now been reopened.
We would like to thank the local community for their patience and understanding while we completed this essential work to upgrade the local sewer network.
