Balgay and Victoria Parks

Firstly, had a recent complaint that the building in Victoria Park (right) has been graffitied again - a pity as it had remained unvandalised for some time. I have contacted the Leisure & Communities Department about this and have had the following prompt reply :

"Will get that dealt with ASAP"

This afternoon, I attended a packed Annual General Meeting of the Friends of Balgay, which took place at the Mills Observatory. The City Council Engineer who took charge of the Balgay (or Hird) Bridge refurbishment project, gave a highly interesting and entertaining presentation about the project.

You can read about the
re-opening back in May by clicking on the headline above. Below is a photograph of the unrestored bridge and below it a photo I took on the day of its reopening.
