Repair and Reinstatement of Slabbed Footpath in Grangewood Park

About

East Hunsbury Parish Council awarded a contract to Parish & Shires Commercial Ltd for the repair and reinstatement of a slabbed footpath through public open space in Grangewood Park.

The path, approximately 380m in length (950m2), is part tarmac and part slabbed with 385mm x 385mm slabs, and its structure had been compromised by tree roots and water travel.

The work involved lifting existing slabs, removing tree roots without damaging trees, regrading the base with MOT Type 1 subbase, laying a 35mm sharp sand bed, relaying existing slabs, haunching path sides with concrete, and dressing the finished path with 5mm self-binding gravel.

The contract value was £28,740.

Works were required to be completed by 16th July 2021, within two weeks of commencement, and all debris was to be removed by licensed waste carriers.
