The demotion of Drum Court  on the Spain and beside the hospital, is well underway for ABRI who will be building 21 flats there all, at social rents. Mike Waddington visited the site with Sam Stone and John Kelly from ABRI John Kelly explains the licensed contractor dealing with the demolition (including any asbestos removal) and measures to suppress dust. He also mentions a colleague after whom the block will be named , Brian Ryves. Sam talks about the build and the homes to be provided here. He also mentions the 53 homes (mainly houses) to be built on The Causeway. We approached the neighbouring residents and one, who didn't want to be recorded, said whilst watching it all, that the builders  "have been very considerate."

Construction company 6A will hand over the 34 apartments, all for social rent, to Housing Association ABRI in around two months after a project that has taken six years to develop - clearing the land and making the build, in character with the area and with sustainable urban drainage. Sam Stone and John Kelly from ABRI and James Allan from 6A took Mike Waddington on a site visit to see the progress made with the high quality build and who will benefit.
