It is hard to believe this was not considered well in advance, either by the council or by GALA. Cllr Catherine Rose is adamant she wants to monetise parks, so this is a way to justify changing the event footprint and creates precedent for yet more changes and park event creep.
Those fences are around the newly created bunds. I'm assuming to protect the new planting? I know Gala said on Wednesday meeting they had to put their fences around the bunds to ensure they were not damaged, apparently wild flowers have been planted there. The flood alleviation works was to protect houses from flooding not the park, that area of the park always floods as lowest part with river Peck underneath. It will be interesting to see how Gala manage if we have heavy rain in May!
