Over the past months we have been busy with ironing out the details of the work to be done in the park. Quotes for the reconstruction of the paths have been received and the contract for the work has been allocated. This work is due to start in June and should be complete in around three weeks.
Due to a surprise reduction in the expected price for the paths, the residue of the pre-allocated funds have allowed to be diverted to pay for new paths to the two picnic tables. This will allow comfortable access for wheel chair bound park goers, instead of trundling across the bumpy grass. This means that we don't have to rely on an application for further funding from other sources.
The five Native Black Poplar trees, which are part of the Lottery funded project, were planted around the margins of the wetland area and have already come into leaf. These will make a splendid addition to the varied fauna in this area of the park.
The bids for the art work have been whittled down from twenty three to a more manageable four. A variety of styles have been included, and a public survey to choose the artist is in progress, and will continue at our annual plant sale on 22nd May.
