This week at the Masters House

Last weekend saw a very successful Hard Hat Day which despite dismal weather conditions attracted over 250 people to guided by HCC staff & members of the 'Friends of the Masters House' and give their views on the future of the landscaping around St. Katherines.

Last Friday's edition of the Ledbury Reporter also featured a very positive full page write up -follow this link to read the online edition. http://www.ledburyreporter.co.uk/news/10071428.Master_s_House_work_under_way/ 

Behind the scenes work continues on the design, and as per the Reporter article the team is working on hopefully a successful Heritage Lottery Bid which will propel Phase 2 of the project into action in the New Year.

On site - eagle eyed people will have spotted a decontamination unit in the carpark as asbestos that was concealed below the floor is removed following the departure of shopmobility from that wing of the building.

St. Katherines Car Parking Works

Works were completed over the weekend to rearrange the white lining in preparation for the later phase of works to the Masters House.

The layout as it stands in front of the Masters House nearest the High Street may seem a little strange until the likely extent of the scaffolding is viewed. The spaces have been rotated to allow for the scaffolding to encroach from the front of the building whilst maintaining access to St. Katherines Hall. 

Additional spaces have been created in front of the HCC offices and in the corner of the carpark where the recycling bins used to be located. Parking for motorcycles has also been refreshed.
