The Heights primary school
The piling works for the new school will be finished by the end of this Wednesday, 22 April. Kier, the DfE's contractor, has managed to reduce dramatically the programmed 4 weeks of piling works down to 2 weeks. Testing checks on Thursday 23 April might possibly be needed, but if so should only last that day.
Here's a video of Andy from Kier describing the works when I visited the site office a few days ago to check out the noise and vibration levels.
Mapledurham Playing Fields' drainage works

Agripower, the Council's contractor, re-started its works this month within the cordoned off area of the pitches.
Drainage is being improved and once complete, grass seed will be put down. The area will be re-opened as soon as the grass has become established enough to walk on.

Council officers are investigating with the contractor how to re-start the Pavilion refurbishment works while complying with Covid-19 distancing instructions.
