Replacement of the Gable Ends
Spring/Summer 2024
Both of the gable ends of the canopy over platforms one and two have been repaired. This was carried out by contractors and fully repainted to produce a very good-looking finish.

The contractors, MJ Padgham, are in the process of repairing the valence along the edge of the roof over platform 1 together with replacing and re-aligning the rain gutter to prevent the rain over-spilling the gutter and causing more damage.
The roof has settled slightly unevenly since it was built, which meant that the rainwater didn’t always flow correctly in the gutters and overspilled in places.
Platform 2 Coping Stones
At the north end of the platform all the copings have been lifted and either re-laid or replaced using coping stones from platform 1. This end was tackled first as there were a couple that were out of line and were too close to passing traffic.
