C&D customer Connell Brothers at work in Hull

C&D customer Connell Brothers has set to work demolishing the Laxthorpe tower block on Orchard Park in the north of Hull.

The original plan was to use explosive demolition to raise the Laxthorpe block and already demolished Kinthorpe building to the ground, but the close proximity of other buildings took that option off the table after review. Instead, Connell Brothers have been contracted to demolish both blocks. Once down, this site and another called Highcourt being demolished in early 2015 will be redeveloped for housing.
