Construction work is to start on Monday 8th November for the next 43 weeks on the phase 2 development on Sandyford’s James Brindley Way, which will include the building of 5 industrial units.

Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association (SAGE) has been in talks with the contractor Caddick in regards to noise reduction during the construction, which they have confirmed as follows. Non-noisy work start time – 7.30am, Noisy works involving plant start time – 8am, Site finishing time – 5pm, No weekend works planned at present. The contractor states they trust the development will be completed with the minimum of inconvenience to residents.

The works will consist of ground stabilisation including piling, concrete pad foundations, steel frame, cladded façade, windows, warehouse sectional doors, toilets to ground and 1st floor, 1st floor office space, car parking and concrete service yard turning circle, new statutory services and a new drainage layout.

The development should have a completion date of around 5th September 2022, and the contractor has agreed to keep residents updated on progress throughout the programme of works.

It is good to know the contractor has listened to the residents association’s concerns from phase 1 by keeping the noisy work down from 7.00am previous to 8.00am now as well as no planned weekend work, which caused much distress to local people.

The positive side to this disruption is the opportunity of more employment coming to Sandyford and Stoke on Trent as a whole.
