Parks and Open Spaces
Our Parks and Grounds Maintenance Teams are continuing with the clearance of trees and repairs to our parks and open spaces as a result of #StormEowyn. The Teams have just completed visits to all of our sites and some still remain inaccessible due to the extensive tree fall. The Council teams aided by contractors have been prioritising sites and areas based on ensuring public safety.
Some areas will unfortunately remain closed across the Council’s estate for some time until they can be assessed, cleared and reopened safely. For safety reasons, we are asking the public not to enter any closed off areas in our parks as the clearance works continue.
Updates on Council Services and from Multi Agency Partners will be shared on the Council’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
