It was brilliant to visit the Stoneygate Groundwater Pumping Station, and to see the system that feeds our local water network. The iconic pumping station was built between 1897 and 1905 and is now Grade II listed.

With the ongoing cost of living crisis, I’m pleased to see Northumbrian Water partnering with StepChange Debt Charity to help households who are struggling to pay their bills and make ends meet. You can read more about this scheme and whether you’re eligible for support here: https://www.stepchange.org/partne…/northumbrian-water.aspx.

Thank you to Heidi Mottram and the team at Northumbrian Water for showing me round.
