Footpath Work

This is what the developers of the Red Cow site are planning.  This is an excerpt from an email to Peter:

I thought I would email you to outline what we propose to do to the footpath as we discussed so that we can agree the works and timings .

 

1. Clear vegetation from the path to identify the drainage gulleys.

2. Weed Kill the footpath.

3. Clear out the gulleys at the bottom and test the drainage.

4. Install a french drain to the stone wall linking into the gulleys.

5. Install a base for the footpath to facilitate easier access/egress using 40mm to nothing road base and rolled to a flat surface angled to the french drain.

6. Install a line of hoarding fixed to sleepers to allow a 1.5m wide footpath and enable scaffolding to the building site.

7. Upon completion of the building works finish the footpath with tarmac and install bollards ( to the approval of the planners ) at the lower end .

 

I trust this meets with your approval and I look forward to hearing from you soon. We anticipate starting this ( items 1,2,3 ) in the next few weeks. If the drainage idea works then we can procede with items 4, 5 and 6 thereafter

Barbecue

It was lovely, but I was having such an interesting time I forgot to take any pictures.  It was particularly nice for everyone to meet Donna, Jonathan, Matt and James, and Alex and Kathy (hope you can move in soon).
