Finally!  We have had the nod from Highways that the construction of the entrances can begin, and our appointed construction company has confirmed that these should be completed by the end of April/ first week in May.

 

In early March, the Brewery Field working party held the first project planning meeting with the designer and the landscaper, to agree a schedule for the works.

As soon as Highways give the go-ahead to construct the entrances on to the field, work will begin to create a secure maintenance vehicle entrance, one fully accessible pedestrian entrance and one pedestrian entrance.  These will be completed before the Spring IWM airshow (25/26 May).

Our appointed landscaper, local company Hortiservices, will begin work on the interior structure of the site only after the Summer IWM airshow (13/14 July), ensuring that the site is ready for planting in the Autumn, the optimum season.

Although work is likely to be in full swing, we will endeavour to ensure that at least part of the field is accessible to the village over the weekend of the Autumn IWM airshow (21/22 September).
