Day 3 – Cold and Wet

Hillside Avenue Entrance - cut back and opened up

Today I wondered along to the Park with a hope of seeing some of the Pudsey Landscapes Operatives in action but my timing was off and there was little sign of them (it was midday!). It was also very cold and very wet with a distinct feel of winter in the air. What was very pleasing to see was that early attention had  been given to making the entrances more accessible and the paths widened. It is very early days and there is so much more to be done but  already there are  small improvements that make walking in the Park a more pleasant experience than it was before. Well done Pudsey Landscapes and keep up the good work.
