More than 10,000 trees have been planted near Lower Roddlesworth Reservoir in Lancashire as part of our ongoing programme to expand and restore woodland across the region. This is the third tree planting scheme we’ve delivered in Lancashire this season, alongside projects at Spade Mill and Delph Reservoir, bringing the total to more than 23,500 trees and shrubs planted. Across the sites, we’ve planted a mix of native species including oak, downy birch, alder, hazel, hawthorn and rowan, supported through the Forestry Commission's England Woodland Creation Offer and contributing to our commitment to plant one million trees by 2030. These woodlands will play an important role in strengthening local biodiversity, improving soil health and enhancing the resilience of the wider catchment to changing weather patterns. By continuing to invest in natural solutions like this, we’re helping to create long-term environmental benefits for both the landscape and local communities.

A major step forward in improving water quality in Knutsford is underway as we continue to deliver our £48 million investment to upgrade the local sewer network. We recently welcomed the Mayor of Knutsford and local councillors to our Parkgate Lane site to see progress on the scheme, including construction of a new 1.8km stormwater tunnel that will sit up to 20 metres underground and store up to 5.5 million litres of stormwater during heavy rainfall, the equivalent of around two Olympic sized swimming pools, helping to reduce pressure on the network before flows are treated, with completion expected in 2027. During the visit, they also met Lily, our tunnel boring machine, named by pupils from a local primary school, and learned how it will carve the route for the tunnel with precision engineering as it advances underground. Alongside this, we are working with Natural England and Tatton Estates on plans to revitalise Moor Pool by carefully removing a century’s worth of accumulated sediment, a key step in improving water quality, restoring the pool’s natural function and creating a healthier habitat for wildlife, with specialist teams recently carrying out a fish rehoming exercise to enable the work to be undertaken safely. This forms part of our wider commitment to deliver the largest investment in water and wastewater infrastructure in a century across the North West, protecting rivers, enhancing the environment and supporting the communities we serve.

Supporting sustainable growth across the North West: We’ve secured £800 million from long-term UK and international investors to continue expanding our BIG North West upgrade programme, unlocking a further £2.5 billion of proposed investment by 2030 on top of our existing £13.5 billion commitment. Together, this will support an additional 4,000 jobs, building on the 30,000 already sustained through our plans, and help ensure our water and wastewater infrastructure keeps pace with demand from 66,000 new homes and the growth of digital and low carbon industries. Our proposals to Ofwat include around £1.4 billion of initial investments, such as new wastewater treatment capacity across 34 sites to support around 100,000 people, upgrades to improve the resilience of existing assets including boreholes and water storage, around £200 million of water infrastructure to enable proposed data centres in East Manchester, and around £220 million to deliver a non potable water supply for the HyNet clean energy cluster, helping enable long term, sustainable growth across the region.

We’re excited to be here in sunny Blackpool at Lancashire Careers Hub’s ‘Future Ready’ launch event, meeting over 200 young people from local schools to introduce them to the fantastic career opportunities at UU. We're here with Liberty Turrell & Bryce A who’ve been great talking about their roles and also running an interactive session enabling students to learn more about the water cycle.

Swapping the meeting room for the pitch ⚽ This week, our team took a different approach to a client meeting as Jamie Brind MARLA and Robert Howe from Move Lettings joined us for our weekly game of football. It was a gorgeous day in Shoreditch with the game ending in a final score of 13-12. Thanks so much for coming down and getting involved.
