YORK-BASED builder Lindum has been appointed as the main construction contractor for a £3.2 million redevelopment at Wetherby Racecourse.
Chief executive and clerk of the course Jonjo Sanderson is pictured above giving a helping hand to the project, which includes demolishing the old members’ stand to make way for a new modern grandstand.
Jonathan Sizer, managing director for Lindum’s York division, said: “We understand the importance of balancing the construction requirements with that of a busy, and very popular, racecourse.
“We will be working hard to ensure minimal disruption throughout the redevelopment works as the race programme continues as usual.”
Among the facilities being created are a spacious public bar, a new betting shop and more refreshment outlets.
