Tree Planting

This week Wates has agreed a date with their landscaping contractor for when the trees will be planted. So for any one who is interested and would like to pencil the date their diaries it is the 22nd of November. The team here at Woodland Court have agreed that similar trees will be planted to match the existing trees already on site.

Courtesy Please!

On Thursday 18th October 2012 between the hours of 1pm and 5pm, could we please ask all our neighbours, operatives, suppliers and staff to be courteous to the funeral cortege of Major Henry Baker of 123 School Lane, Dewsbury.

We will have a member of staff patrolling the area the junction of School Crescent to ensure the cortege is not impeded.

May we all offer our condolences on this sad occasion.

Enterprise Gas works

Further to discussions with Kirklees highways department this week, we can confirm that Enterprise will be conducting trial holes over the medium pressure gas main along School Lane and Staincliffe Road, this is the initial works of the gas main replacement which is due to commence in November and will run through until March 2013.

There will be a number of road closures along School Lane and diversions will be posted locally by Enterprise and Kirklees Highways.

The works being conducted by Enterprise are not in connection with the new development as they are the scheduled replacement of aging gas mains, we will endeavour to work alongside Enterprise and Kirklees Highways to minimalise disruption caused by the works.

Exco Board Site Visit

Ian Burnett  (Living Space Managing Director) and Huw Davies ( Wates Group Financial Director) visited Woodland Court earlier this week, Both the board members walked the site and were very complementary about the teams progress.

We look forward to further visits from Wates Directors as the scheme progresses.

Last week Woodland Court saw a member of the Considerate Constructors assess our site. The scheme looks at how a construction site can be considerate towards site personnel and the surrounding environment and its neighbours. Darran Morrison the Project Manager on Woodland Court was awarded a certificate of performance beyond compliance much to the delight of everyone on site who helped contribute to the excellent way Woodland Court is run.

Community Day 2012

The Woodland Court team joined in with their colleagues last week to clean up an open space area in Birstall.

Sam Bray headed the Woodland Court team that cleared the space, which is used constantly by the community. Praise goes out to all the team who worked in some treacherous weather to complete the task !
