Contractor Barr has been fined œ15,000 for two water pollution offences which took place while working on the upgrade of the A74(M) Glasgow-Carlisle road.

Carlton Gate case resumes
Witnesses are expected to begin giving evidence today in the long-running Carlton Gate œ20 million damages claim by Mowlem against Eagle Star and architect Phippen Randall and Parkes.

HE restart
Work could restart on the Central Terminal Area of the Heathrow Express within a few weeks when design work on the huge shaft which will cut out the areas affected by the collapse is complete. The running tunnel from the CTA to Terminal 4 is now complete and the first of the main twin bore running tunnels into the CTA from the north will be finished at the end of this month.
