The storm before the calm

So signs are now appearing of the main HLF project capital works which will go on through to the end of next year.

Most of the large scale jobs are going out to tender at this point but there are a few signs of change appearing.  The original Rochdale Road entrance which was being used as the Sodexo storage yard has now been cleared out and plans are under way for the relocation of the substation.

The opening up of this original entrance will make a big difference to the hub area of the park by the cafe and Bowls Pavilion.

The dripping wells around Marnock Lake have been investigated and appear to be dripping once again.  Contractors are now just working out the final engineering issues to ensure their continuous drippage.

Well well well, it drips again

And the park entrance from Upper Grosvenor Road has been cleared of the scrappy trees and scrub in advance of some landscape improvement and new signage to make that entrance more welcoming and attractive.

As with a lot of the work to be carried out in the park there will be periods when areas will look a little bit untidy and bare. But this will be a necessary stage before they take on their new and improved look. So don't worry, it's just the storm before the calm.
