Progress at Eldon Square Gardens

Eldon_square_gardens_april_08_picThe restoration of the King George V Memoral Gardens (better known as Eldon Square), off Eldon Road continues apace. Today Parks officers informed us that the hard landscaping work should be completed by 12 May, which is a little later than planned. The reason for the delay is the fact that tree roots have been exposed as part of the works which required a slight tweak to the design to ensure that the wheelchair access to the Gardens could be maintained.

The Parks team have told us that they anticipate the Gardens will be re-opened to the public around Friday 16 May, all being well. I will obviously post here if this is likely to change.

Next week the soft landscaping i.e. plants of shrubs and plants begins and things will really start to take shape.

I will be be working with officers to set up the inaugural meeting of the Friends of Eldon Square Gardens, which we hope will take place in June.

Please contact me direct if you have any queries about this exciting project to transform this historic piece of open space.
