Wokingham borough council has confirmed it is still awaiting a timeframe from Thames Water for the next steps on their repairs to a collapsed sewer on Evendons Lane.
In a statement they said the work will require more specialist intervention after previous efforts were set back by running sand, which caused the excavations to collapse.
They’ve assured the council they’re still putting together a works programme, and in the meantime they’re making the site safe by backfilling the previous excavation.
The road remains closed for safety reasons, but pedestrian access, as well as access to Evendons Primary School via Finchampstead Road, will be maintained.
The sewer collapse has increased pressure on surrounding roads, which are also affected by several planned works that were already under way.
The council added it is working to offset the impact as much as it can.
