We have now vacated the upstairs admin offices. Most of our admin staff and the district nurses are now settled into their temporary home in the car park! Everyone seems very pleased with the cabins and they might even be better than the existing office space!
We now just have some surplus office furniture to move and some rubbish for the tip. We need to thank Lightwater Removals, they did a great job moving and then moving again until everything fitted.
We now have a definite date for the work to commence of 6th June. This is 2 weeks later than we had hoped but gives us a bit move time to sort out our temporary timetables for appointments.
We expect the contractors to be on site slightly earlier to set up their site offices and remove the substantial undergrowth and hedges. I understand from a number of patients that the hedge on our boundary with Christie Close has quite a following, and is enjoyed by local residents. Sadly the hedge does need to go to allow the foundations to be dug. We will avoid nesting birds most of which seem to have left already. The hedge is over 2 metres wide in places and well over 3 metres in height. I conceals a lot of land that we are going to utilise with the extension. There will be planting to replace the hedge, this will be completed next spring once the building is finished. It won't be as large but hopefully will help blend the new building in.
