C&D customer Total Reclaims is knocking down five tower blocks in Park Street and Lombard Close in Nottingham. They are known as the Lenton tower blocks and are being cleared for 142 new homes to built over the next 4 years.
17 lucky students from the Edna G Olds Academy recently got to attend the demolition of the first 90 flats from the 12th floor of one of the blocks. This involved actually visiting the 12th floor and getting to ask lots of questions. As well as seeing Nottingham from a very high viewpoint, all the students were intrigued about the work, and hopefully some of them will choose to investigate further and maybe even enter the industry one day.
If you happen to be visiting the Lenton blocks before the towers have been fully removed, you should be able to see pictures the students created after their visit present on the security fencing surrounding the site.
