The stone gate piers at the entrance to the rose garden have been cleaned and two new lampposts will be installed adjacent to the garden to illuminate the area at night making the area safer for the general public.

The garden will also be rejuvenated with additional planting and further to completing additional planting of coastal-friendly tree species this winter, a second phase of planting will take place around the gardens and lake areas.

Coun Michael Sayward, chairman of the tourism and leisure committee, said: “I’m very pleased to see these essential works being carried out to restore Ashton Gardens to its former glory, while improving safety for the park’s users.”
