In light of this, the Council have extended the tender deadline again until 17 January 2018 at midday. The garages on Rochford Road have now been demolished in preparation for these enabling works. Please note that there is still hard standing and pavement to the front of the site, the removal of which will need to be priced for and this will be outlined in the revised tender requirements published.
