“When you reach for the stars you may not quite get one, but you won’t come up with a handful of mud either” Leo Burnett, Advertising Executive

Muddy Path - before the regeneration started
Unfortunately, when it rains, the paths in the Park turn to mud, that is the nature of the geology of the Park. Today is a classic example. We are working with Bellway on ways to alleviate this, including making wide grassy areas to walk across, instead of single tracks.
One thing that will be done quickly is put an anti-slip coating on the new steps: as muddy clay on boots, from both the lane and the park mean that people need to be extra careful, and this will help.
“He who slings mud generally, loses ground” Adlai E Stevenson, Ambassador to the United Nations (1961-1965)
