Cllr Ciaran Wells has toured bowling greens in the Borough during the past month after bowlers got in touch with concerns about the effects of the wet summer weather on the greens.
Cllr Wells said; “We’ve had the wettest summer on record for a hundred years, which, whilst it has kept the sites green has also created drainage problems for some of them.We have a number of enthusiastic bowling clubs in the Borough and it’s frustrating for them when playing conditions aren’t the best, so we’ve had a whistle stop tour of the greens this morning including Oak Hill, Mercer Park and Rhyddings Park and Lowerfold. We’ve had record breaking amounts of rainfall this summer which has taken its toll on some of the greens. We’re coming to the end of the season now, when our gardeners will be able to aerate the soil and put top dressing on the sites, which will improve drainage there.”
