Things have been progressing at a cracking pace in Catton Park recently.

Visitors to the Park will have seen a great deal of change over a short period.

This is a summary of the work that has taken place so far.

One of the first tasks was to work on the whole Park area to kill off the

aggressive perennial weeds.  The major weed spraying took place on July 21st

with a more limited spray taking place on August 5th.

Once the weed killer had had time to take effect, the dead weeds were cut and

the rubbish raked into rows.  This was then baled and removed from the Park to

prevent it being ploughed back into the soil.  The cutting took place on the 10th

and 11th of August and on the 29th August the raking commenced.

All of the raking and baling was completed by 31st August.

And finally, August saw the commencing of the paths and fences along the

western edge of Catton Park.
