Morgan Sindall has been selected to build a new £23 million waste management operational hub in West Suffolk.
The West Suffolk Operational Hub (WSOH) will be built close to Bury St Edmunds at Hollow Road Farm in Fornham, St Martin.
The facility will help meet the changing needs for waste management in west Suffolk, bringing a number of operational services together on one site to save money and to reflect the anticipated growth in population and housing in the area. Features will include a waste transfer station, a split level household waste recycling centre, vehicle depot and a re-use shop facility.
Saul Humphrey, Managing Director of Morgan Sindall's East Region, said: "We're delighted to have been appointed to deliver the new West Suffolk Operational Hub on behalf of Forest Heath District Council, St Edmundsbury Borough Council and Suffolk County Council. West Suffolk is becoming an increasingly popular place to live and it's important that the right facilities are in place to manage the demands of this growing community.
"Our highly skilled team is well versed in delivering projects of this nature. We're looking forward to bringing that experience to bear on this project and delivering a facility that is sympathetic to the surrounding environment and will provide high-quality services for communities across west Suffolk for years to come."
Suffolk County Council Cllr, Paul West, said: "Following an extensive period of planning and consultation, it is good to see work beginning on site to develop a facility that is fit for the future needs of residents across west Suffolk.
"Morgan Sindall has a good reputation for delivering important infrastructure projects like this and I look forward to following progress as the hub begins to take shape in months to come."
