The elsan at Union Wharf, Market Harborough is taking longer than expected to repair.  The existing floor will need to be excavated to access the elsan drainage in order to replace the existing pipework.  This work is estimated to take approximately one month to prepare and complete.

This notice will be updated as soon as we have further information.
