Although there is little news to report on progress with the ongoing landslip works on the A1086 between Blackhall and Horden, we did commit ourselves to providing an update as regularly as we received it from the highways department.

Further to the update sent on 17^th February regarding the land slip adjacent to the Coast Road to the north of Blackhall  I can report the following progress:

Our consultants have commenced and are progressing the design work as per their proposal  with an indicative provisional start on site by early summer 2014 subject to negotiation with public utility companies.

For your information I will be attending a Design Workshop week commencing 7^th April and will update you on progress following this.

We would expect further information from the workshop to be held during the week commencing 7 April, and we will publish an update here as soon as it is received.
