| Freehold Acquisition of Site, New Site Entrance & Improved Road
to pontoons
After
34 months of hard work, blood, sweat and tears, we have finally
done it. Darren & Kaye have secured and purchased
the freehold interest of the 55 acre site at Tidenham Quarry,
home of the National Diving & Activity Centre.
 This
is great news for us all, because now we can start work on two construction
projects that have been in the pipeline for sometime.
The first major project is a new
and improved entrance to the NDAC site. Since obtaining full detailed
planning permisssion from the Forest of Dean District Council; detailed
technical approval has commenced between our contractors and
Gloucestershire County Council Highways Department. Together they
are working towards an improved new site entrance design.
The build time for these detailed works will take around 48 weeks
from start to finish, and they are expected to start in January
2008.
 The
second construction project is to improve the bumpy road to the
turning circle by the pontoons. As regular customers, who have been
bounced down it, are aware, the road to the turning circle has been
in a state of disrepair for some time now.
We would like to thank all our
loyal customers and members who have put up with the off-road journey
to the pontoon - but are very pleased to announce that this will
soon be coming to an end. Improvement works will commence on the
road mid January 2008 and it is anticipated that they will take
around 7 - 10 days to complete (weather depending).
