C&D customer Erith get their teeth into Reading Civic Centre

Some time ago John went to look at the Reading Civic Centre prior to its demolition and came back thinking that it was a complex job with a great deal of asbestos to be removed, difficult access, and a great deal of traffic management issues. So whoever won the contract had a job on their hands.

The tender process is over and Erith were successful so they now have the job to bring the centre down.

Contractor chosen for Reading Civic Centre demolition

Reading Borough Council have privately selected a contractor who will now be tasked with demolishing the old Civic Centre, but only after asbestos had been removed from the site. The council believe this could take some time, suggesting there's quite a lot of it used within the building.

The land the Civic Centre is constructed on is owned by the council, but they want a developer to come in and redevelop the land. Until that can be sorted out an urban park will be created for local residence to take advantage of.
