Contractors attended and the result of the CCTV inspection is that there is a damaged pipe.

The images were not clear enough to identify the exact location of the damaged pipe.

Another site visit will be arranged to jet wash the pipes and obtain clearer images to then track the location of the damaged pipe.

We will update the notice when we have further information on the progress of the repair to the pipework.

The elsan is still blocked, contractors attended to it at the weekend and unblocked it, but it was reported blocked again yesterday (Monday 21st August).

Contractors are to be attending to site today to insert CCTV camera's to look for the blockage further down the pipes.

We will update the notice when we have any further information.
