Summary and conclusions

Well presented & organised site showing a good understanding of the aims & objectives of the CCS scheme. There are only a few items highlighted in the report that may be looked at for future reference. Generally though this is a site that those involved with can be suitably pleased with & I am sure that there will be a genuine intention to continue to make further improvements where possible on future projects.
