Description

Original 24 August 2026, 2:17pm

National Grid will be replacing an existing overhead cable that crosses the Welford Reservoir Car Park. The work involves installing a new H-pole with transformer at the car park boundary fence and creating a new underground route along the edge of the car park to the nearby road. Access roads and footpaths will remain open throughout the works. However, visitors should expect occasional short-term delays while work is being carried out.
