After 18 months of inactivity, we were told that Hatfield's redevelopment was to commence on Monday 26th Novemeber. But two days later there doesn't appear to be any of the 'enabling works' that were due to take place, despite the perfect building conditions. The much hyped start of the commencent of Phase One is surely going to happen, but still no schedule of the building programme has been produced. And we read, yet again, that Conservative Borough Council Leader is blaming the 'dire' conditions of the construction industry. But, incredibly, many large building developments have been undertaken in Hatfield over the past year and continue to do so.  In the meanwhile, I've been out with my binoculars today searching for St.Modwen's builders. Nothing showing at all!
