Update on the reinstatement of the roof
The works suffered a delay at the latter end of 2010 due to paintwork to the new steelwork not meeting specification. This has now been resolved and works are now on schedule to be substantially complete by March 24th to enable the summer timetable to commence. The Platform awnings which were installed in 1952 were removed in early January and following this installation of the roof trusses commenced. The steelwork to the overall roof is now substantially complete and a crash deck is being installed which will enable the transverse tongued and grooved boarding to be affixed to the trusses. Work is now progressing at a pace and will include weekend working. Other work currently underway is the paving of the Picnic Area and the former Church Fenton roof columns are in the North-East being shot blasted and having minor repairs effected.
