The brickwork was started today on the new yard! Drains are in... so now the enxt step is the brickwork - which isaaparently the equivalent of around 10 houses! SO a pretty big job!

Now they've started laying bricks I will take some more piccies to put on the site...

Del was bricklaying whilst I had Saffy in this afternoon - I was impressed at the progress he made between me walking past when bringing her in and turning her back out again! If they keep building at this rate the new yard will be ready in no time at all! It's going to look fabulous!

R&M - we're waiting for the solicitors to draw up a 106 agreement - 2 months after planning is agreed it appears they are still incapable of providing the wording needed for the aggreement... and they wonder why local govenrment get a bad name for being slow and disorganised Twisted Evil

How very very fustrating! Evil or Very Mad

And even to think, I know some (local) people who have the gift to errect barns (goodness knows whats in them) without planning, and are getting away with it! It seems to me, that with planning granted for the arena someone needs to go and give them a good kick up the backside to get all the paperwork done (and i mean literally!!! Shocked

Maybe someone can offer??? Shocked
