Update on works to the solar Farm
Work has been completed for access to the site from the A429 just beyond the end of the runway at Cotswold Airport. Tree planting and flooding measures (swales) have been completed to deuce the impact on Kemble Wick. From mid May, for 8 weeks, pile driving for support posts will take place, Kemble Wick, Quelfurlong and Chelworth mainly affected by any noise and vibration. Work will start at 7am in the morning to 6pm at night during weekdays and also Saturday mornings.
Panels will be fitted July to November and the site should be generating electricity before the end of this year.
A Community fund would generate an income for Crudwell as approximately 30% of the panels are in the Parish.
Aura Power have no control of the delivery routes for the materials so expect extra lorry movements through Crudwell. Deliveries, will be out of rush hour between 9am and 3pm
Footpaths will be unaffected but may have to be temporarily diverted during the construction phase for safety reasons.
