Weekly Update 9 November 2026

Last week, we completed the removal of boundary fencing, brickwork and sections of tarmac within the Riverside Building car park. These works have helped prepare the area for the next phase of construction activities.

We also completed site clearance works on the eastern side of the beck where the former garages were demolished. This area is now ready for Northern Powergrid to begin its planned utility diversion works from 16 November.

On Friday 6 November, we hand-delivered letters to residents of Grove Hill providing an update on the planned opening of the temporary access road through the glamping site. Subject to the completion of ongoing utility diversion works, we currently expect the road to become operational from Monday 30 November 2026. We are currently awaiting Northern Powergrid's relocation of the existing electricity pole at the tie-in point before the final connection can be completed. These works are currently scheduled to take place on Wednesday 18 November, after which construction of the tie-in can commence. We handed out car permits which residents are asked to display on their dashboard when driving through the glamping site.

Looking Ahead to This Week

Our planned activities for this week include:

• Temporary closure of the footpath between Zetland Row and the pedestrian bridge to allow construction activities to be carried out safely.

• Commencing construction of the piling mat within the Riverside Building car park. A piling mat is a specially constructed working platform that provides a stable foundation for heavy construction plant and machinery.

As always, we will continue to monitor and minimise disruption wherever possible and would like to thank the local community for its continued patience and support while these works progress.
