At present, the Society does not run a regular service which is open to the public. However, this does not exclude people from giving us a visit. If you would like to come along and see things for yourself, take photographs or ask questions to the staff who work on the site, the best time to catch a squad at work is on a Saturday afternoon although there are often people on site at other times.
