For much of the day, there was little progress on either site. A team arrived in the morning, and re-instated the pavements, initially at PCP92, and then at PCP102. For the former, this was in preparation for the roadworks being shifted to the other side of the road to complete the trenching to a suitable power cable jointing location, as otherwise both pavements would have been out of service concurrently.
However late in the afternoon the VDSL2 cabinet shell for PCP 102 was delivered and installed, which is another great step forward in the project.
