Southfield Site Visitor Centre

Post by NAM Updater »

Last week the Newark Air Museum made a significant step forward in the proposed development of the new Visitor Centre project on the Southfield Site. This involved the submission of a Pre-Application to the local planning department for the project and associated access etc. Full details are on the News Page of the museum website.

Why don't you contact Balfour Beatty on the A46 there office are at Newton and see if there willing to donate surplus stone etc for new roadways etc be worth an ask as big companies like to get involved in projects in local areas they are working in.

Sadly nothing forthcoming from 'new-builds'.

Much of the previously advised Southfield Site infrastructure work is now almost complete; this has seen around 1,800 sq metres of hard standing area laid down during the last few weeks further details can be found here!

To provide a feel for the scope of the infrastructure work that the museum has been undertaking over the last few weeks an album of photographs has been added to the Photo Gallery page here!

As part of the development of the Southfield Site the museum has been noting the biodiversity of its site.

In view of the regular posts of wild birds on different parts of the forum I thought that I would highlight the species list that has been noted at Newark; full details can be found on this link!
