The contract has a value of £1.3m, and Osborne will be working on behalf of their customer- First Greater Western Rail. Work is due to start on 11th December and will take 17 weeks to complete.

The new car park will be formed by excavating and removal of an existing car park.  Osborne will be creating 230 new car parking spaces, including disabled bays. They will also be installing new lighting and ticket machines, as well as charging points for electric cars.
