The contract, valued at £50,000, is anticipated to start on the 26th April and run for a period of sixteen months to Sept 2022.
Just prior to the Easter holiday long weekend, both diggers and equipment to to undertake borehole samples turned up on the site.
Over the coming weeks the Council have announced that local residents should be prepared for the possibility of noise while exploratory work continues.
Due to the nature of the site, having been a former landfill site odour from the deposited materials are also a distinct possibility for short periods during the first week.
Planning permission has already been granted to build a new leisure centre, 150 homes, a hotel and shops along Princes Parade, but since then the scheme has been subject to many protests and even a failed judicial review to stop it going ahead.
