Commenting on the works to date and the side effects from the building works, Ali Walker, Site Manager, said: “The builder, Gilbert Ash, is making excellent progress on the project with the foundations and the ground slab now in place. With this intense progress there are some difficult management issues to resolve which will have a continuing impact on members and visitors. While the site is open for business, it is definitely not business as usual.”
