Dome of Pottery Street salt barn removed after rot found

The decay was discovered in high level panels of the timber dome at the Pottery Street recycling facility following an engineering inspection and advice from a specialist contractor.

The dome has had to be removed as a result.

The council plans to procure a new dome over the winter period, with the aim of installing it in spring next year.
