Construction Sector Given Go Ahead for Phase 3

The First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has today announced that from Monday 22nd June, the Scottish construction sector can move to Phase 3 of the Industry Restart Plan.

Phase 3 is steady state operation (only where physical distancing can be maintained).

The sector can then “move through the remaining phases subject to ongoing consultation with government”. (Click on the image below to download details of the phased restart plan)
