Various posters and links will follow…

We are pleased to report that the Kings Dyke project has now passed through E&E committee and GPC last month and we now have a signed contract with Jones Brothers as the contractor.

Jones Brothers are already working on their start-up preparations and will be pursuing a rapid start to the mainline works onsite. The precise start date is probably still a little uncertain, but early July is the goal – much sooner than the Dec 2020 start date we went public with last year. There will also be some Jones Brothers presence on site starting next week for some preparatory works, such as trial holes followed by establishment of the compound.

Now that the contractor is on board we hope to see progress ramping up fairly quickly and we want to make sure WTC are kept up to speed with things. Please can you let me know if Whittlesey Town Council are still holding their monthly meetings so we can ensure our updates will be issued to you in advance of these.
CCC’s press release is attached which you may want to use on your website or notice board as you feel appropriate.

Kind regards
