DEMOLITION has started on two houses near Rue de la Mare, close to the airport development.

A BARGE carrying 2,000 tonnes of aggregate docked at Longue Hougue’s temporary harbour yesterday as Lagan Construction started to import 250,000 tonnes of material.

THE first oversize load of plant for the airport development was delivered early today.

OVERSIZED trucks up to 16 metres long will be on Guernsey’s roads from next week as preparation for the airport runway redevelopment moves up a gear.

AIRPORT contractor Lagan Construction will set up a 24-hour hotline so islanders can settle their gripes and grievances throughout the £80.4m. project.

PLANES will be landing just hours after Lagan staff have worked on the runway, making employing specialists a must to ensure the safety of passengers, the airport contractor’s contracts manager said yesterday.

FOREST parishioners living near the airport are preparing themselves for significant disruption as the £80m. runway repair and extension project gets under way this week.

WORK to develop the junction at Route de la Tourelle in St Peter’s has marked the end of a long hard fight, airport campaigners have said.

CURFEWS on flight extensions will be reduced during the airport redevelopment to ensure the contractors have a reasonable period of night possession, Guernsey Airport’s director has said.

PLANNERS, police and Public Services have dismissed parishioners’ fears that housing 147 airport workers in one location would be a recipe for trouble.
