Victoria Tower: Scaffolding
- Question
-
To ask The Senior Deputy Speaker what is the purpose and function of the scaffolding being constructed around Victoria Tower; and whether any people will work under that scaffolding.
- Answer
-
The scaffolding currently being constructed around Victoria Tower is a “safety deck” which protects workers in the restricted access construction site from any stone fall. It replaces the previous one which was not suitable to accommodate large groundwork equipment and machinery, and will be in place to enable preparatory groundworks for the full scaffolding build to be safely carried out from later this year.
