Additional Car Parking at Gelder Group Head Office
Extending the Gelder Group’s Head Office car park
Work on extending the car parking spaces at the Gelder Group’s Head Office (Tillbridge Lane, Sturton-by-Stow) are well underway. The new permeable paving system will allow the grass to grow through interlocking honeycomb plastic grids to provide a sustainable, free draining parking area that will predominantly be used to store plant, machinery and vans. The new extension will free-up many existing car park places.
Environmental Park takes flight

We have once again been successful in creating the right environment for the barn owl and kestrel population to thrive in our environmental park. This year we have recorded two barn owlets and six baby kestrels. All of the birds have now been ringed by licensed bird ringer, Steve Wain.
