Image issues

In the September issue of Contact items reporting on Southend-on-Sea’s Garon Park swimming complex (p44) and Belfast’s Obel Tower (p45) were printed with the wrong images. The correct images appear below. In the story about Belfast’s Royal Victoria Hospital

(p45) it should have read that McLaughlin & Harvey is the principal contractor. This project is a significant one for the region and as such will be covered in more detail in future issues as the build progresses. We apologise for any inconvenience and confusion caused by these errors.
