Hello Readers,

Today I visited the hillside construction site for the final time. I was excited to return to Brighton in hope I would have some major progress to share with you however I was slightly underwhelmed. As you know on my previous visit they had completed two storeys of the external brick work for the buildings I am able to observe from  my limited view point. As you will be able to see from the photographs below they have only progressed onto working on the fourth storey. I would like to have been able to share more information on this however sources for this are very limited. One factor may be the high number of bank holidays through the Easter break as well as workers taking holidays. However it does seem that there was a lot more taking place when I visited today. There was a higher quantity of materials such as sand and cement bags situated around the working areas.

Another thing I discussed in my previous post was regarding the environmental factors and the protest group situated on the boarder of the site which has now been taken down and disbanded. There are still signs however the base is now removed. I can only assume the members have accepted defeat now that the site is so far into construction.

I hope that you have found all this information over the last few weeks useful and have enjoyed following the progression of the site. I feel I have found the experience very beneficial and I have found it very interesting to see the building practises we learn about in university being carried out physically. The hillside site is always very well laid out and well structured so observing progression has been relatively easy. The environmental scrutiny that the site has received is unfortunate however I feel PMC have made their best efforts to minimise this disturbance caused by the construction work. I would like to thank those of you out there who have followed me on this journey and visited my blog frequently. I plan to visit the site when the construction has been completed to see the finished product. The address of the site is in the previous posts if any of you would like to do the same. So for the final time………

Thanks

-Luke
