checking out the part-demolished site

Local people were concerned when work stopped recently at Rodford School and the site was left in a part-demolished state.

Apparently the demolition contractors have had problems - in particular they've been waiting for British Gas to do the final gas disconnection.

In the meantime South Glos has asked the contractors to tidy up the site, and to dampen it to reduce the amount of dust being produced.

Update 08/04/2011 - The gas has now been disconnected and demolition work has restarted. The last part of the building will be demolished early next week. As well as the fence aound the site, a security patrol will visit in the evening and over the weekend until the site has been fully cleared.
