Blakedown Landscapes will begin the Heritage Restoration works including landscape and buildings works from 25^th July.

These improvement works will need to be carried out in stages until completion in September 2012. The bulk of the works will take place during the winter months. To ensure all levels of safety are met areas of the park will be closed off to the public at certain times allowing works to take place unimpeded with the aim of completing on time.

What to expect during July and Aug 2011:

1. Site Establishment:  A number of temporary small compounds will need to be erected within the park in certain places to house machinery.
2. Underground drainage works will begin throughout the park and continue intermittently until completion in May 2012. This will resolve flooding from the park to surrounding streets, resolve water logging in areas of park and create a means of sustainably topping up the ponds.
3. External services: These include improvements to sewer and drainage connections.
4. Paths and Paving works: Early works on upgrading of selected pathways. This will continue intermittently until completion in September 2012.
