The topsoil to the left of these stone parking bays willbe a space for picnic benches, surrounded by grass which will be seeded naturally and with 'hay-strewing' to ensure that local floral thrive Here you can see some of the parking bays nearing completion. They just need a final 'dust layer' and they will be finished. Pavers will be used to mark out individual bays This shows the new access road that will be used by staff in progress near to Skilling Gate This is the access road above the Plant Centre, showing Plant Centre pick-up parking bays on either side Staff access road, showing Plant Centre to left and the parking just above it Due to good weather during construction, the grass is growing back of its own accord. Most areas will restore themselves in this way, although in some areas we will strew hay cut onsite to restore the natural grassland and local flora
