🏗️ Work is continuing on the redevelopment of Anglia Square — here's the latest from the site.

The old bridge link on St Crispin's Road comes down from Thursday 11 June. It has been out of use for some time, and its removal will not impact traffic flow. Safety barriers will be in place for passing traffic.

Nesting gulls have affected the timing of some demolition in the Pitt Street area — but work is carrying on across other parts of the site.

As part of the planned demolition process, and as the structure is progressively exposed, further asbestos has been identified in the QD building through additional planned checks carried out alongside surveys. This is now being safely removed, meaning a slight delay to demolition works. All necessary health and safety procedures continue to be followed throughout.

Building work on hundreds of new homes is expected to begin in the coming months.

We'll keep sharing updates as the project moves forward.
