Clay Cross Active Update: Last month, the main contractor for the Clay Cross Active development, ISG, filed for administration delaying progress on the project as a new contractor was sourced.
The council’s development partner, Alliance Leisure, have worked tirelessly to appoint a new contractor and minimise the impact on the scheme. The Council are delighted to announce that a new contractor Universal Civils & Build will take over the scheme.
You will start to see contractors returning to site in the coming weeks. Universal have already made the site secure & safe, and are currently rescheduling the works to ensure they can be completed as quickly as possible. Further updates will be provided in due course through our social media channels and our website.
November Update:
Firstly, we extend our sincerest apologies for the delays experienced due to the administration of our previous contractor, ISG.
This has impacted the construction world throughout the whole of the UK and we appreciate your patience and understanding during this period.
Since the announcement (of ISG going into administration) We have been working extremely hard with our partner Alliance Leisure in the background to progress the works as quickly as possible.
As previously stated, Universal Civils & Build has been appointed as the new contractor for the project. They have already secured and made the site safe, and will be intensifying work from December.
What this means for Clay Cross Active:
We are now targeting an opening in early summer 2025 and will confirm an exact date in the coming months,
We are excited about the progress and look forward to delivering a state-of-the-art health and community hub for Clay Cross. Further updates will be provided through our social media channels and the Council’s website.
