**preparatory nature. We have**
**commissioned architects to prepare**
**plans suitable for the application for**
**planning permission to erect new**
**buildings at the Railworld/Nene valley**
**site at Peterborough. These plans have**
**been approved by Peterborough City**

**activities from progress on the road.**

**relocate less quickly than planned. We**
**expect to have the materials in the**
