Update by Anthony Birkett
Hi Everyone
Time for the weekly growth report.....I was on site again and although the weather may be changeable and inconsistent, the combination of sun and rain is certainly good for the grass around the lake. Its really starting to look rather green in the basins and park area. I've attached a few photos.
While the grass and trees are slowly taking hold, its still important to remember that the reinstatements are a slow process. We've completed the reinstatements to the required specifications set out by Northumbrian Water and the Council, but now we need to allow them to flourish. This is not the finished product yet - it may take up to a year before the area is fully established. Its also important to remember that we have had unusually high rainfall this summer and this has also had an impact on the ground conditions. We have a 12 month reinstatement plan, followed by a further 5 years contracted maintenance programme - it will take time.
On the subject of the high rainfall, I found a family who have been very happy with that! (see the photos attached)
Enjoy your weekend
Tony
