We've had quite a few queries about the open space and the fact that the grass lawns weren't open for. Obviously the good news this week is that the temporary fencing has been removed and the lawns reopened for the summer (we just need the weather again now!)
Below is an update from senior council parks officers on the plans for the open space:
"We have since last autumn undertaken major restoration works to the open space. These include improvement works to the worn out lawns, including resoling and reseeding and some areas have had new turf. The flower beds have had new plants to fill the gaps and some areas have been completely re planted and finished off with new organic mulch. Also, any dead trees have been removed and replaced.
"The site is very heavily used and along with erratic weather conditions has proved very difficult in bringing the site back to an acceptable standard and better able to cope with the heavy use...We will be undertaking more improvements in the next planting season this coming autumn."
