Road Entrance & Parking: Our aim is to improve Health and Safety in the yard by keeping
1) all customers away from HGV movements
2) all parking and traffic away from the area immediately in front of the office
3) all HGVs on a one way circuit so that they do not reverse

To achieve this, we are making better defined routes onto the site and improving vehicle parking arrangements. Since December we have been concreting the entrance area by the weighbridge. The new concrete road swings left just before the end of the weighbridge, and is intended to start customer traffic aiming in a straight line for the public car park.

We also plan to put:
a) a zebra crossing in front of the office right across to the first row,
b) a disabled parking space in a bay outside Ro’s office window,
c) a designated walkway from the car park to the office beside the Ply Shed
d) checkout parking bays for you to park in when loaded next to the walkway.

When HGVs come through our gates, they will be sent right-handed past the sand and gravel bunkers onto our extension land. As you leave the site from the office, HGVs will chiefly be coming from your left onto the weighbridge.

Please be aware that that on all roads there may well be TWO WAY TRAFFIC coming in the opposite direction to you and that we have installed two more speed ramps!

We now stock a high quality Scandinavian C16 graded timber for structural work. Most C16 is stored by other merchants in the open under sheets. We have constructed purpose-built lean-tos behind the bunkers to maintain the quality of this kiln dried timber. It is also available pressure treated.

We have extensive quantities of top quality, loamy topsoil for sale.

We have now surfaced and occupied 1 acre of our expanded site. The landscaping and boundary are installed throughout the site and the remainder of the area is cleared, ready for surfacing.

We are pleased to announce that North Shropshire District Council have recently approved planning consent for a 7 acre extension to our site. Work to develop the area has commenced.

We are one of the largest retailers of external treated timber in the Midlands and hope to significantly extend our range once the new land is fully developed.

We will be launching a newsletter soon. To receive it click here.
