Week Two of Manor Waste Refurbishment

Community, Democracy and Local Affairs
Monday 1 February: A trench is being dug with machinery and by hand. As promised, some edging for the new paving of Manor Waste was laid today. It's a good colour to be seen! Wednesday 3 February: removing the surface near the buildings Thursday 4 February: The edging was completed at the Dobbins Lane end while the Thursday market continued elsewhere on the Manor Waste. Friday 5 February: Digging out the drainage trench for the newly refurbished Manor Waste.

The work scheduled for week two of the refurbishment of the Manor Waste was scheduled as “subbase”. One photo per day gives a flavour of the action.

A stronger subbase will mean that the surface is less likely to be damaged by the wear and tear of daily use.
