Increase in working hours at the Coburg Crescent building site

From today, 20th October, the council has given contractors working on the Coburg Crescent building site permission to extend their working hours to 08:00 to 21:00 on weekdays and 08:00 Hours to 18:00 on Saturdays. This will be for a period of eight weeks, after which the allowed working hours will revert to 08:00 to 18:00 on weekdays and 08:00 to 13:00 on Saturdays.

Farrans requested extended working hours to allow staggered starting and ending times for workers, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Farrans actually requested to be allowed to work much longer hours than those agreed by the council: from 06:00 to 21:00 on weekdays, 08:00 to 18:00 on Saturdays and 08:00 to 15:00 on Sundays.
