Improving maintenance<br />
in the park<br />
Bridging<br />
the gap<br />
Did you know that there are five<br />
bridges in Boultham Park?<br />
You may have noticed that they have<br />
recently been in the spotlight. If you<br />
enter the park from the Rookery Lane<br />
pedestrian crossing gate you will see that<br />
the first bridge has been replaced with<br />
new green fencing and hardwood rail<br />
boards (above right).<br />
Moving towards the lake and looking<br />
across the old boating channels, the<br />
bridge near the beacon (above) has<br />
been totally restored and improved with a<br />
steel base which was previously wooden.<br />
This should stand the test of time for all the<br />
happy visitors heading to feed the ducks.<br />
The Casey Construction team will soon<br />
be working on the other bridge near the<br />
beacon so keep your eyes peeled. The<br />
arched bridge was previously completed<br />
by the City of Lincoln Council as it was in<br />
need of restoring more urgently. It will be<br />
great to see all five looking fresh and new<br />
in the coming months.<br />
Proud<br />
Knight<br />
The ‘Proud Knight’ visited Boultham Park as<br />
part of a tour of places Lincoln has to be<br />
proud of. The park is a major project for the<br />
City of Lincoln Council and a key element<br />
of their vision to deliver Lincoln’s ambitious<br />
future.<br />
The Knight of the Charter is sponsored by the council and is one<br />
of 36 that form the Knights’ Trail, which will run in Lincoln from 20th<br />
May until 3rd September (www.knightstrail.com).<br />
