Works in this area will be remediation of the ground to remove contaminated material. Works will be accessed through the Bovis parcel and therefore there will be no additional traffic expected on the Royal Way. All footpaths in surrounding areas will remain open during the works. These works are expected to take around 4 weeks to complete.
