WORK is underway on a major upgrade of ageing water pipes in Hampton Magna.

Severn Trent has started installing modern water pipes in Damson Road. The phased programme will continue through Cherry Lane, Woodway Avenue, Daly Avenue, Summer Close, Old Budbrooke Road, Field Barn Road, Blandford Way, and conclude the first phase of works in Church Lane by November.

Work will then continue in nearby Hampton on the Hill as part of the £2million project, with the schedule for this part still to be finalised.

A Severn Trent spokesperson said: “We understand that these types of works can cause disruption, and we want to thank everyone for their patience as our teams are working.
