It seems to have gone backwards this week. No news slabs laid and the drainage blocks around the tree have all been dug up

Should we do a forum sweepstake on how long it stays down, after completion, until they start taking bits up? Just asking!

A few more (not many ) slabs down and the plastic squares around the tree back in place

They're was a hope this would be complete (despite the September date) ready for Shakespeare at the Gatehouse, but that's looking like it's completely off the cards considering that opens 2 weeks this coming Friday....

Who hoped that?

Besides, have a look at the Gatehouse website and see just how many people have actually booked to go to see the Shakespeare. A very few days have managed being just under half booked. Most days are near empty.

People are voting with their feet.

Entrust/Stafford Borough Council, have killed the thing.

Still there is still time, I suppose...

Yes, never mind the hundred rather than six mile round trip my wife and daughter this year are going to Ludlow to see it performed properly in a castle.
I gave up on it years ago when a couple sat behind me were noisily eating sweets or crisps as if in a cinema.

They're laid quite a few blocks this week. Next bit will be slower as they will all need to be cut.
Curbing outside Boots is progressing and they have started laying the bricks on the 'road' section.

For this week they seem to have gone back a bit.
The bricks and a line of curbing have all been ripped up, but they have laid more of the blocks.
They must be getting worried about the timescale as there are a lot more workers there now doing things.

We watched them a while in the week, 6 workers, only one doing anything & he just seemed to trundle up & down in his digger, not digging or moving anything!

Had another venture into town today and the sight that met me in the square made it even more puzzling that so many people backed the muppet wanting to ride through the town like they had a divine right to take over any restrictive space that there is, left!
