Enabling work has now started at the site of Chesterfield's planned new football stadium at Whittington Moor as site owner Wilson Bowden Developments prepares the site for the major development.  

The first works include diverting a major power cable around the perimeter of site.

A major sewage pipe that currently runs immediately under the site of the football stadium is also being relocated.

This will soon be followed by further works to put in road access and principle infrastructure on to the site.

All this before construction, which is expected to begin early 2009, with both the new Tesco store and the 10,500 seater football stadium proceeding at the same time.
