CHEQUERS & PARKWAY











Good to see the renovation of The Chequers is making progress. A rather more extensive project than anticipated I think? It was looking very sad and hopefully will be restored to former glory.




In Parkway the demolition of the small buildings and parking areas is more or less complete. A lot of plant on site and activity in many areas. One of the interesting things this week was watching the recovery of topsoil. It was being 'sifted' out of a digger bucket and gathered in heaps around the site - see image, taken through the mesh fences. Good to be able to see this activity - if the site was surrounded by hoardings we shouldn't know what was happening on the site - as is the case with the cinema site!
