As the first tower of the civic offices is now emerging from the ground, work on the second ten storey tower will soon begin.
The first of the towers is now rising above the historic foundations. In a few days time the archaeologists are due to move off a section of the site and the bulldozers will move in to begin work on the second ten storey tower. The new civic buildings are now due for completion in 1982, two years behind schedule due to the delays caused by the protests and legal battles.
Archaeologists will continue excavations for a further four months on the last adjoining site, which will be the culmination of ten years of archaeological investigation.
The report features a model of what the planned site will look like when completed.
