Starting tonight (Sat 24th Oct) in Little Stoke: Bridge demolition and replacement. "When the new 4,260-tonne railway bridge is installed on Gipsy Patch Lane it will be the heaviest precast concrete bridge move of its kind ever undertaken in the UK."The project to replace the narrow-arched Victorian railway bridge on Gipsy Patch Lane (Little Stoke) with a much wider concrete structure enters a critical phase tonight (Saturday 24th October) with the start of a 13-day railway closure during which the old bridge will be demolished and its pre-fabricated replacement installed.
"The planned work will involve the use of heavy machinery and noisy activities, such as excavation and further piling."

Latest photos from Gipsy Patch Lane. Installation of new railway bridge gets under way this Saturday night.
To say we're disappointed with tonight's vote in the House of Commons is an understatement. For some children, their free school meal is their only hot meal of the day. We also know that things are getting tougher and tougher out there.
However, we'd like to help.
We aren't a big charity, we are funding this ourselves, but we would like to give those that need it a FREE SCHOOL MEALS PACK.
They'll be available for collection on Saturday afternoon and there'll be enough food in there for a 2 course meal each day of the holidays.
We really want to help those of you that really need it, so if you feel that's you, please message us.
Stay safe, stay together xx
