Laman Street Works Resume
Redevelopment work on Laman Street, Cooks Hill, has resumed today after a break of a couple of weeks.
Work was suspended after crews discovered artefacts at the site such as old crockery and bones.
Archaeologists have given the all clear now saying these findings are simply landfill which has been brought in from somewhere else and doesn't have any heritage value.
The current works include digging a trench down the centre of the road to relocate utilities in order to replace trees along the sides of the street.
