A digger has been on site the past few days clearing the wasteland of growth. It's the right time of year to do this but its been left untouched for the best part of 20 years so could this signal a beginning of the construction phase?

With the UK economy flat-lining, the chancellor said last week that the government needs to go “further, faster in driving economic growth,” which Starmer has described as his government’s core mission. Ministers are relying on loosening red tape, fast-tracking planning decisions and ramping up housebuilding to achieve that aim, and Reeves is set to deliver a speech on growth before the end of the month.

Other projects poised to be signed off after being delayed are the Lower Thames Crossing, a road tunnel beneath London’s Thames River, and a Universal Studios theme park north of the capital, the people said.

Universal UK is gearing up to be approved by UK government.

No detailed update today but the local MP did bring it up in parliament and it seems that discussions between Universal and the UK government are going well.

There is a 33 second clip should you wish to view it.

It's been a while, not a great deal is happening in the ground right bore but we are hoping to hear something soon.

Nothing really new to report recently but the latest site drone video is here.

Not a great deal of new news in all honestly but still a good oversight of the site as off mid August.
