Resurfacing works at Churchill Gardens to start September 2024

Wednesday, 21 August 2024 06:00

Salisbury City Council has announced that resurfacing work to the Southampton Road pedestrian entrance by the toilets in Churchill Gardens will begin on 2nd September, with an anticipated completion date of 2nd December.

The project will involve the removal of damaged paving slabs, which will be replaced with new tarmac pathways and green spaces. The improvements will also include additional tree planting, aligning with the council's Tree & Ecosystem Strategy commitment to increase canopy cover across the city.

For the duration of the works, the paths around the Southampton Road entrance will be fenced off, and there will be no pedestrian access. Visitors are encouraged to use alternative routes around the park.

Access to the toilets and water fountain at this entrance will be temporarily unavailable during the construction period.

Park visitors are also advised that Kiwi Coffee will be temporarily relocated elsewhere within the park, and to check their Facebook page here for updates.

Additionally, the Salisbury parkrun will operate a slightly modified course during this period. For the latest updates on the parkrun, please visit their Facebook page here.

Salisbury City Council appreciates the public's understanding and cooperation as we work to improve the park's facilities.
