Work is due to start shortly on a face lift for the Victoria Gardens.
Tewkesbury Borough Council has put £11,000 into the scheme and the town council has added a further £2000. The money will be used to extend the footpaths, carry out more planting, install additional seating and replace the railings at Mill Street entrance to the gardens. These were removed in the 1940s as a part of the war effort.
There are also plans for some kind of central feature, but this is still in some doubt. Imogen Sykes, the borough council officer in charge of the project said: ‘’We did think of a flag pole, but members did not seem very keen. Sculpture is always a problem, so we may end up with a special tree, or perhaps a tree with a seat around it.’’
Work is expected to start on the improvements in the next two or three months.
