Update on Lower Street

See previous Blogs for background. Latest news from a Senior Engineer re Lower Street, Ruscombe: apparently a ground investigation is planned. A quote has been obtained but appears to be very high so to ensure they have a competitive price they are currently seeking prices from other companies. The ground investigation will involve drilling two boreholes, one in the road behind the wall and the other at the base of the wall. Access for machinery is very tight but should be possible. Further sampling will also be necessary further down the slope (disturbance will be very minimal) and this will be discussed with the owners of the property whose garden may be affected. Once the ground investigation is done they can evaluate the situation. In short it looks like the disruption will continue for a fair time.
