Snow progress

Progress has been slow at the park this week due to snow, frost and rain. The stones for the top of the wall were due to be done but couldn't be done with it freezing. There has work been done on the Broadwalk as the template for the bridge is being framed ready for concrete.

Broad Walk

Work has started in earnest on Broadwalk the bridge concrete has been in for some time done by the old contractor. But now the work has started to get the bridge supports in ready for the bridges that are coming in Jan/Feb

As part of this a new path has been created so you can get down to Coronation Walk as you can see above this is designed so it can be used by disabled people. On the other side will be steps and flowers. The path is way underway and the mole machine has been drilling down for the footings.
Everything is scaled down for Xmas but we believe there will be a lot more on site in the new year and work will forge ahead at a great rate of knots

Not a lot of pictures of this area as its been behind the barriers for a long time

On Broadwalk the new footings for the bridge support is now in and the bridges shouldn't be to long now with the first on expected next week

October 2009

We were then shown Broad walk and the band stand. Most of the path is full of heavy

machinery and work has been done on the main bridge which will span the valley to

Coronation Walk. The heavy wooden bridge will be supported by a large arch and

this time it will be level with steps on one side and a disabled ramp on the other

so people can get to Coronation Walk. It will all be replanted.
