Asbestos removal is now finished in Holme Park Court. It is continuing in Bishops Court.
What’s next?
The excavator will keep working down Holme Park Court over the next few weeks. Once it reaches around the fourth or fifth floor, smaller machines will finish the job.
We expect asbestos removal in Bishops Court to finish in early November. The excavator will then move across to start on the second block.
