Just a short introduction, My name is Keith and this website was originally created  to promote the art of digital photographic repair which I do as a hobby, This has generated quite a bit of interest and as a result some repairs are displayed. Old WW1 Photographs will always look old but usually any damage that they have acquired over the years can be repaired.  The secondary use that this site has is to promote our Guitar tuition Classes which is run By my son lee, since the publication of this site we have gained some regular pupils who are keen to learn music technology

Highways Agency’s representative.

MOTO---URS ---North Midland Construction project

I have been engaged to provide an overseeing role to all the civils aspects of the works that are due to be completed in July 2008. These involve the re-locating of a motorway balancing pond and subsequent backfilling of the original site to allow the new access road embankment to be constructed through the area. There are complicated Statutory Undertakers’ diversions as well as new works required. There are strict environmental guidelines laid down and part of this required the construction of a new “badger run” under the new access road. Quite detailed traffic management measures are being utilised because of the need to maintain access around the whole of the motorway junction at all times
