We’re spending £5.15million to replace over 6km of clean water pipes in Kiveton Park and Wales. These pipes are old and prone to bursting - replacing them now will reduce the risk of this happening in future; helping to save water and reduce disruption to you.
What we're doing
In May 2025 work began on a predicted 12-month programme to replace over 6km of clean water mains. This includes:
- £2,818,750 investment to replace 3202m of clean water mains on Wales Road and Walesmoor Avenue, Kiveton Park
- £2,062,275 investment to replace 2546m of clean water mains on Station Road
- £259,953 investment to replace 378m of clean water mains on Mansfield Road
We’re working on:
- the whole of Wales Road
- Station Road (between Church Lane and Hard Lane)
- the whole of Walesmoor Avenue.
The sections we’re replacing are shown on the plan below in red:
Latest project updates
March 2026
The work is taking a little longer than planned but the team are progressing well and we’re hoping to have the whole project completed by November 2026.
The next stage of the work will be to replace the pipes that cross Kiveton Bridge. We’ve liaised with the local highways and as the road is narrow here, to complete the work safely, we’ll need to close the road while we complete this section.
Station Road at Kiveton Bridge will be closed from 28 March until 12 April, while we complete this work.
Pedestrian access will be maintained and our work won’t affect the train station. A signed diversion will be in place for all traffic, please plan ahead if you’re travelling in the area.
Shuttle bus service
While our road closure is in place on Station Road there will be a free shuttle bus service operating to connect residents with the regular bus service at Swallownest.
The timetable and route are shown below, this will be running from Saturday 28th March until Sunday 12th April and operated by Wilfreda Beehive.
Route: Main Street, High Street (towards Swallownest via High Street, Rotherham Road, Main Street), Mansfield Road, Aston Way, Mansfield Road, School Road, Wales Road, Walesmoor Avenue (anti-clockwise), Wales Road (towards Swallownest direct via Wales Road).
All Travel South Yorkshire bus stops to be observed along the route.
Hail and Ride along Walesmoor Avenue.

August 2025
The team have installed over 1300m of new water main so far on the project.
During week commencing 25th August the team will move onto the next 100m section of work from Old Coach Road to just passed the first junction of Walesmoor Avenue, this section should take around 5 weeks to complete.
To keep everyone safe we’ll continue to use temporary traffic lights around our working area, these will be manually controlled between 7am and 7pm, 7 days a week. We’ll also be closing the first junction of Walesmoor Avenue as we pass it, this will help to keep traffic flowing as we’ll not need to use an additional traffic light on here.
Vehicle access will be maintained for Walesmoor Avenue via Lestermoor Avenue and the second Walesmoor Avenue junction.
July 2025
In May 2025 work began on Walesmoor Avenue and is progressing well; we’re hoping to have finished on here by 14th July.
Wales Road
From 14th July work will begin on the first 100m section of work on Wales Road, starting at the junction of Church Street and finishing just before Lodge Hill Drive. This section will take around 6 weeks to complete.
To keep everyone safe we’ll be using temporary traffic lights around our working area, these will move with our work as it progresses and will be manually controlled between 7am and 7pm, 7 days a week to help keep traffic flowing.
