This is the new road into the site for staff, it's ready for surfacing!This is a new speed hump that is currently being surfaced. It crosses to the all ability path that runs from the coach park to the new Welcome Building.Here is one of our speed humps under construction. In the background on the left you can see the Plant centre pick up parking, as well as the crosses  on the left that show where the low gradient ramp is going to be.The turning on the right in this photo will be into an overflow car park.  On the left in the distance is the plant centre and its pick up parking.One of the three main paths to the front of the Welcome Building. Cables for the lighting bollards are in and ready to be connected.The marker in the middle of the road will be the new location for Island barriers for staff to access and depart the site.
