We are upgrading the sewer network.

Hi Everyone It is necessary to carry out a little remedial work on the access track within the Cow Plantation. This will be completed on Thursday 7 June 2018 and Friday 8 June 2018. We expect minimal disruption , but apologise is anyone is caused any inconvenience. This is the final piece of the jigsaw :-) Tony

Hi Everyone Reinstatements are progressing well around our Wood Vue site. As you can see, the area where our compound was is beginning to look like we were never there! Likewise where we were in the Cow Plantation. I've attached a couple of photos taken at the weekend. Tony

Hi Everyone I've been down to Durham Road to check on progress - the end is in sight! We're still working on reinstating Wood Vue, we've planed out the road by the entrance to the compound and the speed bump and hope to have this competed tomorrow. We've also been working in the plantation and have cleared this area, apart from a small fenced area around th CSO - we will need to return there next week to complete some metal work. We hope to be finished by the end of next week! I've attached a few photos of our progress today Tony

Hi Everyone There's lots going on on site in the coming days, we're busy reinstating area where the compound was and will hope to have grass seed down soon. We're also sorting the kerbing out by the entrance to compound, we've started that work and will finish next wednesday and thursday when the tarmac contractractors attend. They will also be working on Wood Vue where we are carrying out remedial reinstatements on the speed bump nearest to Durham Road. These reinstatements will be finished by Friday 11 May 2018. Here's a copy of the letter I've distributed to Wood Vue this afternoon. Hope you enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend Tony

Hi Everyone We are now in the process of leaving the area and reinstating the roads, pathways and grassed areas to their original condition. On Wednesday 2 May 2018 reinstatements will start at the entrance of our compound area on Oxclose Crescent. The carriageway will be narrowed using cones and this will be managed via a priority system to cause the least disruption possible. The work will be completed by 17:00 on Thursday 10 May 2018. Tony

Hi Everyone The finish line is in sight! You've probably noticed, we've removed the cabins from our compound and finished the reinstatements in Wood Vue. We are just appying the finishing touches to our work in the Cow Plantation and completing the reinstatements there too. This should be done by the middle of next week, then we hope to pull off site. However, the fencing around the compound will remain in place for a little while to allow the area to cultivate the seed and we are aware of an issue with one of the speed bumps in Wood Vue, so will need to return to rectify that. I'd again like to thank you all for your patience and cooperation while we have been working here. Tony
