Update 22 September 2026, 1:11pm
Since our last update specialist contractors have attended site and inspected the drain in the car park, however in order for them to carry out the works they will need to gain necessary permissions from the relevant landowners, this has now been passed to another specialist team for them to arrange the necessary access permission from the third party land owner and will then attend site over the next few days to investigate further and plan a method of repair. A further update will be provided on or before Thursday 1 October.
Update 18 September 2026, 3:14pm
