Selly Oak Councillors Dave Radcliffe and Alistair Dow have welcomed extra investment in Selly Oak Park.
Selly Oak councillors have welcomed extra investment planned for Selly Oak Park. Councillor Dave Radcliffe said: "I am delighted to report that money has been found to improve the path network. I know this has been a big concern for residents and other park users."
Around £23,000 has been found to improve some of the existing footpaths and creating a better circuit around the park. In addition, local councillors agreed a grant of £3,000 earlier this year to help fund an educational nature trail. Sculptures, signposts and information boards are planned to encourage new park users and schoolchildren.
Following concerns from local residents, some of the trees along the main paths have now been pruned. Repairs have also been organised to some of the lampposts on the main path from Corisande Road to the Harborne Lane end of Gibbins Road.
Since earlier this year, Selly Oak Park has had its own Park Keeper, who works over the weekend and Monday to Wednesday. This is both providing continuity of care and greater reassurance for park users.
