The site was also featured on BBC Hereford & Worcester's radio programmes through the day.

In reality the diggers are already on site and the groundworks have commenced. As can be seen in the photo below. There is large amount of excavation to reduce the levels on the site and form the foundations for the boundary walls. The foundations are piled due to the nature of the ground and large piling rigs will soon be on site to commence augering the ground for the concrete fill.
