1.3.1.  Paving work to complete the look of our new campus will soon begin along the face of Tonge

1.3.2.  From early July, excavation work will progress to the face of the International Centre and continue on to the Media Centre and is expected to complete in September

1.3.3.  The process of breaking, excavation, ground preparations and paving required by this work may cause noise, vibration and dust disturbance to nearby residents

1.4.  Alterations to access along our Western Access Road as described in previous Reports are now in effect – please see point 3 below

1.5.  Traffic on Headington Road will benefit from a drop in the number of HGV deliveries arriving on to site via the Western Access Road as work to the piazza and building entrance progresses in July

 

2. Removal of Tower Crane 2

2.1.  Tower Crane 2 will be dismantled and removed from the site between Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 June, over weekend hours
