Hello, 

We are happy to let you know that progress on site continues to planned programme dates. We have now taken delivery of the tertiary solids removal equipment as seen in the picture, and this is the last of the major equipment now delivered to site. 

The main focus is now on the civil works to do in preparation for the mechanical and electrical installations which is due to start in July, with much of the below ground works now being complete.

Hello,

Another milestone in the activities taking place at the New Moors site, are the taking of delivery of two dosing kiosks on Tuesday 7th May. These look similar to the picture below.

The kiosks are around the same width as the normal construction traffic that’s currently using the lane (a little wider than a UK caravan) and approximately 4m tall.

The kiosks/their delivery may take a little more time to navigate down the lane but should not cause any inconvenience to residents.
