This month on site, significant progress will be made within our outdoor areas and public open spaces. Work continues to prepare the expansion to the Country Park, which is expected to open by the end of the month. The paths are being connected and this means the new park will be accessible to pushchairs and wheelchairs.

The management company for the estate and public areas is FirstPort. This month a number of public open spaces, including the children’s playground, will be handed over to FirstPort to manage and maintain.

The Western Pitches are set to open imminently. On site you may have seen a portable building being installed and this is the office to be used by the operator. More news on this will be released very soon.

The bus stop in the local square now includes points for disabled access, ensuring everyone has safe and easy access to the regular public transport service delivered by Stagecoach. New planters are being installed this month to prevent vehicles being parked by the disabled access points and blocking this essential route.

Planning permission has been granted for Area 3 of Sherford. Archaeology is currently in progress there and is 60% complete. Archaeological investigations at Sherford always take place ahead of construction beginning in that area.
