Now the tarmac has been laid the site looks complete. All that remains to be done is the planting and the snagging. Internally Kirklees Council are undertaking their final inspections before the planned handover date of February 13th.

The Wates team and our sub-contractors would like to thank you for your continued patience whilst we have been on site at Rawthorpe Lane. Our site will close for the Christmas period on Tuesday  24 December, and will re-open in the New Year on Thursday 2 January.

Can we also take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !

Externally it is mission accomplished with us laying the tarmac base course. All the edgings and kerbs are in ready for the block paving to start in the new year. Internally we have laid the vinyl flooring to the plots in Block 1 with only the communals to complete. Blocks 2, 3 and 4 are complete with just some fine tuning to be done.

 

All remains is to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all the site staff.
