With November the park shows its other side with Autumn colour and the gardeners have come up trumps with a fine pansy display. It just goes to show no matter what time of year the gardeners put on a fine display for us and there is always something to see.

There has been no action in the park yet but a new contractor will be announced any time now.

Some work start last week on the bandstand but there is nothing to report so far.

Summer Bedding

At the Queens Park the summer bedding is going in and in a few weeks the main walkway will be a blaze of colour. We are still waiting desperately for news when the work will start again. There is a meeting with the heritage lottery and Execs from Cheshire East on Wed 24th June - we are hoping this will clarify things so an announcement can be made.
One thing they hadn't thought of was a webcam for the park and when i suggested it everyone thought it was a good idea as it would bring visitors into the park, they also hadnt budgeted for CCTV for the park. Spending millions on the park with no CCTV is asking for trouble so this has now been added to the list.

June 24th

There was a meeting today with the Lottery to discuss the Queens Park restoration we are waiting to hear the results.

Over on the North wall I wondered what the black plastic was for as that is the only place the railings haven't been finished. The plastic is to stop the Bats making nest in the wall apparently they have delayed any work on the area as they had nested there. They have had to wait for them to go before they could do any work. The plastic lets them fly onto the wall but not make nest so hopefully work can now begin on the wall.

Autumn Colour in the Queens park

Autumn is a wonderful time in the park with some really colourful sites so armed with the trusty Finepix s1500 I have captured so of the scenes for those of you who have missed it
