SID UPDATE:- Port Ellen Playing Fields - New Community Hub & Motorhome Extension "Progress continues on the Port Ellen Playing Fields Project, with the groundworks now well underway. The footprint of the new building has been levelled and the foundations dug and poured. The motorhome section is also moving forward, with the foundations for the gabion baskets in place, and the first level of baskets installed. The car parking area has been cleared and is currently being used to stockpile materials. Elsewhere onsite drainage is being installed to remove surface water. There have been a few delays, primarily due to the need to revise and increase the planned drainage, and delays in the supply of materials. Power cables were also uncovered crossing the footprint of the WC/shower block; this was unexpected and these are having to be diverted. These issues are being managed by the contractor, with support from the design team and Clerk of Works. The steel for the building is expected to arrive in the next week or so, at which point the blockwork will also begin. Visible progress should then be relatively quick, with project completion still expected in Spring 2024." Attached Newsletter for Information on all other projects.
