WELLINGTON Park has a smart new look after its network of paths were resurfaced by local contractor R W Gale.

The essential maintenance work was funded by Taunton Deane Borough Council with a contribution from Wellington Town Council.

It meant that some areas of the park, which has a Green Flag Heritage Award, were closed to the public for a short time.

Cllr Vivienne Stock-Williams, executive councillor for Sports, Parks and Leisure, said: “We know how much quality green spaces matter to our residents and visitors so we want to ensure they look their best and are safe to use.

“I would like to thank everyone for bearing with us while the work was carried out.

“Wellington Park is a stunning attraction all year round thanks to the dedication of our staff and wonderful volunteers who maintain it to such a high standard. It now looks particularly smart ready for the summer.”
