Spider Lane – North Somerset Council

Spider Lane forms part of the wider Italian Gardens project, part of the Weston Town Centre Regeneration Programme that is delivering improvements to key development sites and positively encouraging investment within the town. The project scope included renewal of paving, streetlights and drainage on Spider Lane. The project was to be completed within a tight time scale of 6 weeks as it was key to be finished before the busy summer season commenced.

ETM Contractors were named principal contractors on the project and therefore had the responsibility of supporting project smooth-running, communicating with third party contractors, keeping to timelines, and creating an aesthetic finished look. The clearance aspect of the project involved a heavy amount of planning and resources. The finished result had to have a pleasing aesthetic for the sea front and be durable to withstand heavy footfall.
