Telford and Wrekin Council are installing a new football pitch, fence and wildlife flower meadow.
By Maisie Olah and Johnty O'DonnellResidents are urging a council not to let contractors work during nesting season near a lake.Work on the existing football pitch is set to start on Monday, with a new perimeter fence, re-laid pitch and an area for wildflowers on the way.The council added that it will "respect habitat and not disturb any wildlife, including birds and nesting habitat" and that the work will last a week.
Julie Barnett and Paul Kalinauckas from Bowring Park Users Group said they were worried it would make the wildlife leave the water due to the "heavy earth-moving equipment". "We don't want all the wildlife to migrate...Murphy's was gifted to the people of Wellington," Mr Kalinauckas said."I come at 06:00 BST every morning and look after the swans, maintain wildlife here, it's beautiful," Ms Barnett said.
