Fire Station Roundabout
Since our last news update, the contaminated materials (asbestos) have now been safely removed and processed off-site. These works have been carried out under guidance from a specialist asbestos consultant and all necessary safety precautions were taken. All screening has now been removed.
The excavation and capping of the new Splitter Island leading from Midland Road has been completed, which can be seen in the images.
The next phase of works to the centre of the roundabout are excavations to create the attenuation pond, along with continued construction of the additional lane on the inside of the roundabout, followed by associated landscaping.
Diversion of some utilities, such as fibre internet, will be carried out in the coming weeks. We do not expect any disruption to services during these diversion works.
We will provide further updates in due course.
