The extensive range of work proposed will be carried out over the course of 2014. As a significant amount of work involves the input from third parties it would be preferable to present a further report in May, subject to the members approval, to allow sufficient time to progress the various items.
Works are continuing in this area and the removal of the old bridge hut is due to take place shortly. There are no proposals to resurface the car park at this time. A further update will be presented to the Members at the May Meeting of the Area Committee.
