This blog aims to track the progress of re-developing Snowdon's summit by Snowdonia National Park. The appointed contractors, Carillion, responsible for constructing the new building on the highest peak in England and Wales, take over on September 11th and a 'demolition ceremony' on September 12th will mark the start of this long awaited and contentious project. The previous building has served as a cafe and train terminus since being built by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis in 1936. The new £8.3 million building has to be completed by the summer of 2008 to be eligible for the European sponsorship.
