National contractor Morgan Sindall Construction has signed on to deliver a major expansion project for Aylesbury Vale District Council.

The firm has begun work on site to expand the council's central operations depot on Pembroke Road. This £7.8 million project forms part of the local authority's plans to cater for the Vale's growing population, which is expected to increase the number of properties in the region dependent on its services.

When complete, the project will see a new workshop, office facilities, a vehicle wash and an MOT testing centre added to the depot.

We need to bring the current facilities up-to-date with high-quality, sustainable infrastructure that ensures our staff are properly equipped with the right facilities and equipment to meet the needs of the Vale's growing community."


David Rowsell, area director for Morgan Sindall Construction, added: "We're very pleased to be working with the council to deliver their vision for this dynamic, multi-purpose facility and the long-term benefits it will bring to the district.

"Morgan Sindall Construction has delivered several projects in Aylesbury Vale in partnership with the council and we're looking forward to continuing to build on this legacy."
