Constructed during November 2015. Snowfall interrupted first week of groundworks, but then the weather held fine for the installation. Unfortunately, extreme wet weather then intervened, causing damage to paths and reinstatements. Transplanted turves and heath soil have been used, to provide for restoration of heath ground flora. This will take a little time.

Constructed during August 2016. Light rain + no wind + standing about looking at kerbs = Midgeageddon Precast elements and modular design = Good finish quality Grass seeding failed to establish before heavy winter rains. Were reseeded in May 2017.

Layby and gabion constructed during September 2016. Cladding supplier error lead to delay of viewpoint feature installation until March 2017. Quality more important than programme. Fortunately, the steelwork quality proved to be worth the wait. Natural regeneration of the species-rich grassland is ongoing; this includes on the grassed gabions.
