Progress Update
Recent photographs can be viewed at https://photos.app.goo.gl/tw7pLbepjnt9xpK89
I estimate we are running at approx 90% capacity at the moment which for the current situation is superb.
The lads from Rigby civils are certainly pulling out all the stops and good progress is being made.
DRAINAGE – The attenuation tank went in just prior to lockdown, the Hydro brake at the site entrance is dug and concreted with the 900mm concrete surface water drain running into it from the newly formed road.
The surface water drain is to be completed week ending 29 May 2020 and from 1st June work will commence with the foul drainage to the site.
BT - BT ducting is now in on Higher Heyes drive and while the lads where there they connected the electric ducting up to the hammer head so all that’s left to do in the drive is connection which is only very minor disturbance and I will let you know when I have a date for that.
FOUNDATIONS – We currently have plots 3 to 9 underway. Plots 3 and 4 ( Bungalows) are dug, concreted and have block work footings being built. Plots 5 and 6 are dug and concreted, Plots 7, 8, 9 are dug and were inspected on 29 May 2020.
Garden Waste collections were suspended in March at the start of the coronavirus pandemic lockdown as staff sickness levels in the workforce increased, and this decision ensured the domestic waste and recycling service could continue to operate as normal
Staff sickness levels have fallen in recent weeks and more staff are now available to collect residents’ garden waste in addition to providing the usual service.
What is happening
Collections will return to the previously advertised schedule and we will continue to monitor the national Covid risk rating, infection rate, and the continued availability of staff in the weeks to come to ensure we can continue to run all services while ensuring staff safety.
Cheshire West and Chester Council are reopening some of their Household Waste Recycling Centres on Tuesday 12 May 2020 for STRICTLY ESSENTIAL USE ONLY.
Residents should only visit the recycling centre if their journey is absolutely necessary. This means that if the items stored at home cause a health and safety risk such as injury, illness or harm to the household then the trip is essential. Otherwise, please store your waste at home until normal services resume.
Please seriously consider whether your visit is essential before you set out on your journey to your nearest site
Visit Household Waste Recycling Centres for details of the sites that are opening
Cheshire West and Chester Council will re-open Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) following a change in Government guidance.
On Tuesday 12 May the HWRCs in Northwich, Neston, Winsford, Chester and Ellesmere Port will reopen. The smaller HWRC in Frodsham will open on Friday 15 May. This is because the location of the Frodsham sites requires traffic management to be put into place to manage queues safely before it can be reopened.

During these uncertain times, we are being told to self-isolate, but because of technology, we’ve never been more connected – despite being on our own.
We, at Kingsley Players Youth Theatre, want to keep the arts alive during these difficult times, and are delighted to announce our next project ‘Stay Connected: a multi-media exhibition on the theme of connectedness’.
We are looking for people, during their self-isolation, to create a piece of art on the theme of ‘connectedness’. It could be a play, a song, a piece of music, a short story, a painting, a photograph; the possibilities are endless! We hope that we will be able to create an exhibition of this work later in the year.
