The awarded contracts were finalised on 12th November 2024, with work commencing from 28th October 2024 and concluding by the end of February 2025. The project, valued at £49,999, was awarded to ABSEIL COMMERCIAL LIMITED for £17,770 and WARD GROUP LIMITED for £24,422, both small and medium enterprises (SMEs), reflecting Natural England's support for SME business involvement.
