Generally we have fallen behind the programme. TCL have been asked to draw a new programme up and issue to me, as soon as I have this I will pass it on.

The delay here is due to a foul line diversion route issue that we had a decision on this Tuesday. We are hoping to have EMG back shortly, however I do not have a concrete start date for them yet. We are hoping it will be within the next few weeks.
