The eastern part of the Spa Gardens (Gardens 7 and 8) have been reopened by the contractors in time for the Mayday Bank Holiday. There is still much planting to be done and the lighting needs to be connected but people can get an idea of what the finished product will look like. The gardens’ restoration project has been shrouded in controversy in the last couple of years due to problems between the previous contractors and SCDC, and rising costs, so it is nice to see it taking shape at last. Completion for the whole project should be some time during 2015.
