Construction sites will open at night and at weekends to help kickstart the economy again after the coronavirus lockdown, it has been reported.
Government ministers are reportedly planning to change the law on restrictions preventing builders from carrying out loud work on Sundays or outside of normal working hours.
It is also hoped the move will give construction companies time to "catch up" on work as they start to return to site after lockdown.
Planned changes to extend the hours that construction sites are allowed to operate are also said to be followed by more measures to help smaller companies.
