Ashton Gardens
Fylde Borough Council’s lottery project in Ashton Gardens is nearing completion. The deadline for the fulfilment of the final conditions of the bid is December 2010 and the council is on schedule to deliver these.
The Pavilion – the old Ashton Institute – has been re-sited to where the theatre once stood and will soon be open to the public as a licensed café.
New railings have been installed around the gardens and footpaths have been resurfaced.
There are still some landscaping works to be completed; construction of a new children’s play area, installation of signage throughout the gardens and overthrows to the main gates to be fitted.
Finally a management and maintenance plan is to be written stating how the gardens are to be looked after for the next 10 years.
There are further schemes which Fylde will complete which were not part of the Lottery bid. The main thing that people ask about is the planting in the gardens which will be replanted over the next two or three years. The gardens are to be planted to the designs of Bertram Hyde the landscape architects who designed the pavilion courtyard.
There is also work being carried out to the Ashton Memorial in the rose garden. Funding for this project was obtained by the Supporters of Ashton Gardens.
