Routine inspections have shown that the footpaths were in need of some work as the surface had deteriorated, over time, since they were first installed. Approximately 2000 square metres of footpath will be reconstructed and another 1000 square metres resurfaced to ensure good access all around the park at a cost of approximately £100,000. In addition the footpaths around the old paddling pool area will be rationalised to ensure access to the west side of the park can be maintained.
There will be some disruption for pedestrians during the works, however different parts of the parks will be undertaken in sequence to ensure diversionary routes can be set up allowing people to still use the park to access Hyndburn Road and Lancaster drive. The work is due to start w/c 3rd February and be completed before the end of March.
Cabinet Member for Parks, Cllr Ciaran Wells said; “The resurfacing work to this popular local park will make access easier for visitors to enjoy the amenities there.”
