The council has warned it will 'look worse before it gets better' after restoration delays
The restoration of Preston ’s Moor Park did not begin in earnest until last week – more than two months after the Radio 2 In The Park gig that left parts of it a muddy wasteland.
preston-city-council>Preston City Council has also acknowledged that the start of the reinstatement process has caused affected parts of the park to look even worse than they did previously – at least for now. The authority said back in September it had been advised to leave the ground to dry out and then reseed those places where it was necessary to do so in the springtime.
The LDRS asked who was footing the bill for the work and was told it would be “partially funded” by the broadcaster, – but the exact share and total cost have not yet been revealed. A spokesperson for Preston City Council said the damage to the park was worst in the area where the catering trucks were located.
“Unfortunately, there are now some large patches of exposed soil and some surface water so it may initially look worse than it did, this is from where the soil has been pressed back in place, but the recent heavy rain hasn’t helped with this. We do expect these areas to recover naturally as we get into spring.
