The only thing I can think of is that it’s the old pipe work for the old Goodwin Fountain but surely our great council sorted that out when they demolished it.

butlers Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) The asbesto thing is a total red herring. A surveyor was there today . The point of conflict is a sewer runs under the site, the inspection chamber is about 20 feet away on Leopold street. Yorkshire water are worried about the foundations or lack of for the shipping containers. As it's currently set up looks like the foundations are small frames of 4 by 2 timber Surely it has to open at some point and that £300,000 initial budget that had blown up to £420,000 will jump a little higher Edited June 27, 2022 by butlers More accurate than my initial post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butlers Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I have seen at festivals and other one off events a waste pipe discharged into a inspection chamber with temporary cover fitted. I can't see any inspection chamber on the paving so that implies one needs digging and the hefty connection fee paying Presumably this project has been in the pipeline since last year ..seems a hell of an oversight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
