Work on the new office building continues to progress apace. Now there is cladding on, the roof is on, and work is going on inside, including installing plumbing systems, underfloor heating, partition walls and stairs.

The project is still running to schedule, and within the next month or so we should see windows going in and Siberian larch cladding adding the finishing touch to the exterior walls.

Changes to the recycling system introduced this year are being imposed by contractors Biffa. The original idea was to “stream” all materials for recycling on site, with separate bins for cardboard, paper, cans and plastic. But the contractors are now going to take all the “household” recyclables  together, for streaming off-site.

This means that all the wheelie bins currently labelled cardboard, plastics, food and drink cans and paper will be replaced by bins labelled “Dry mixed recycling.”
