The District Centre will become an active construction site and the contractor will need to liaise with the managing contractor and adjoining developers to maintain a safe and efficient site\. During construction the contractor will need to note the interfaces with the Hall and Woodhouse development and the works to both the road and canal which form the eastern and western boundaries and which are under construction\.
