How we work

A second notification letter will be sent by the delivery partner, providing more detailed information including exact start and finish dates.
- Engagement - Before work begins, residents will receive a visit from the partner’s Customer Liaison Officer (CLO). The CLO will provide a site induction, which includes further details about the works and all relevant health and safety information.
- Communication - Residents will always have access to contact details for both the delivery partner and the Council’s Technical Officer managing the scheme.
- Rotherham-wide Approach - There are no fixed areas—works are carried out based on need across the borough.
- Contractor Coordination - Key dates and logistics are agreed with Mears, Equans and their subcontractors to minimise disruption to residents.
