Building works contract
The building works contract to build the new cafe and toilets and refurbish the stables and surrounding courtyard is not due to commence until the start of November. We are still in the process of tendering for contractors and will provide updates on this page once a contractor has been appointed.
See FACEBOOK for updates and diversion routes.
We realise that the works will cause some disruption and inconvenience, but we hope that you will understand that this relatively short term construction phase that will be completed by July 2018 will make a tremendous improvement for everyone visiting and traveling through Laughton for many years to come.
