Winter Work progress report

Our maintenance works are on schedule, despite the rain.

The map below shows the work orders to be completed in the maintenance areas, including status of the works as of Monday 10 July. 



Access tracks damaged due to wet weather will be rectified at the completion of the winter works when conditions have dried enough to enable the work to be done.
