Good Morning All,

Well the time has come, we will be finished and off site by the end of the week.

Mark and his team have done a great job, even though it has been a tricky process with lots of obstacles in the way, the major one being the weather.

So just to let you know what happened last week:-

The landscaping around the lagoons were seeded
The fencing at the gates on the access track complete
Stoned up the track by the bridleway
Removed the sludge that was taken to be recycled into fertiliser
Taken down the fencing on site

Mark and the team would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your understanding and patience during this scheme we truly appreciate it.
