Derby development- update. Work COULD start in Jan 2020.

“A new planning application has indicated when work could start on major improvements to one of Derby's busiest junctions.

Kier Living is due to make improvements to the Kingsway/A38 roundabout as part of its Manor Kingsway development which is being built opposite the area's retail park.

Part of the work, it has been revealed, includes widening the A5111 northbound entry to Kingsway Island from two to three lanes.

At peak times, dozens of drivers on that stretch of the road are delayed for long periods before getting onto the A38.

But documents reveal improvements could be made as soon as the start of next year.

The planning application, submitted to Derby City Council by MacDonald Planning Consultancy on behalf of Kier Living, says work could start in January next year, although it could also happen later.”

Here's how you could make yourself feel better, go on one of the message boards where there has been a large drop in the share price, tell them guy's how clever you are because you don't have a position there and tell them you are really wealthy that should make you feel better. There's no way they could know you are a dunderheed who lives on a council estate in glasgow.

He has lost nothing and neither have I.

[ltcm1] 20/5/2019 12:33

I think what is boring Minerve is the constant fall in the Kier share price, it is most dull and repetitive.

How much has WOODFORD lost here???!!!

[gairich] 20/5/2019 11:43

Have a deep fried mars bar and calm down dunderheed "ha ha ha"

[minerve 2] 20/5/2019 11:26

So why don't you go and find a house builder that is free of your imaginary encumbrances and go and invest there? May I suggest CSP.

Stop boring us to death here. :)

Some of the other divisions must be losing money hand over fist because the housing division must be highly profitable currently, a gross profit of 25% on build costs is the norm.

Looks a good business that is being stifled to me.

[ltcm1] 20/5/2019 09:55

Talk about a jack of all trades and master of none! Is there no building activity this bemouthe won't have a punt at??? Are Kier having a go at Notre Dame???

The housing division could make good money if it was released from the shackles of this top heavy organisation.

Too many chiefs and not enough indians here, hopefully the review will conclude same and embark on a break up.

The division has enough capital for its foreseeable future. Expanding the balance sheet too much at this point in the cycle might not be prudent.

[ltcm1] 19/5/2019 17:17

Yes - it will be a big winner at that pricepoint, I can see them selling fast when they are able to.

I can see this division having potential but has the group got enough capital to expand it??? Is it something Kier could perhaps spin off from their mighty empire???

Itcm1 : Your link seems quite positive - Liberal Democrat councillor Lucy Care said: "Residents thought it was brilliant that it was happening but wanted further information.

But the whole development is 700 homes in total:




I read on the website Kier are planning to increase from 2500 homes to 4000 homes built annually by next year. Sounds impressive but a big jump.

Are they outsourcing these builds???

[ltcm1] 19/5/2019 12:04

It's 40 houses and a couple of blocks of flats as far as I can make out.

Altman Z Score 1.1 less than 70% + chance of going bankrupt in two years. 6 month low and a bearish chart pattern.

[brexitplus] 18/5/2019 18:06

Nom

Well, actually no. My reading is that no one can move in and there is no date for the highway work to start. Read the last line. It’s cash tied up for no-one knows how long.

[ltcm1] 18/5/2019 16:59

Well this sort of thing can happen to the best of them, could be something out of their control possibly.

Do Kier have a manufacturing facility for building these modular homes or do they outsource it all???

[eriktherock] 18/5/2019 16:52

Share Price was £5 on the 19th March at announcement of new CEO. What's that a 35% drop in two months of future proofing kier ?
Recently announced a plan to "reduce unnecessary costs". He needs help, but not from their mammoth HR police.

[minerve 2] 18/5/2019 13:05

Hedge funds can be wrong and do lose money like everyone else. Some hedge funds have lost massive amounts since the start of this year and some have closed. You do your homework, you take a position and that is all you can do. You will not always be right and sometimes you will be wrong. That is where risk management comes in and should be understood by all investors before they even buy a single share. Even Buffet has made many mistakes. The trick is to learn from them. ;)

Now, can we quieten down and wait to see what happens. All this recent talk is noise.

Thanks.

P.S. Ponty rules!
