The new hotel by Tesco is two stories high, with two more to come. There is a Community Board on the hoardings to inform people about the progress.
October included a complete steel frame and reinforced concrete floor. Install crane and commence external scaffolding. November has external wall construction and windows. Begin internal wall construction with services.
Meanwhile, by Hartwells on Drayton Road, the new 3-story building is well underway. It will contain 4 one bedroom and two 2 bedroom apartments with 7 car parking spaces
The development at the old ferry boat house has begun.
We’ll soon have as many hotels as barbers. Meanwhile, there remains the wreck by the bridge – not to mention the bridge…
The repairs to the bridge have begun. Nice to see a physical presence.
