This is due to run from Monday February 24 for around eight weeks.

The council said the closure is to “allow for the safe commencement of steelworks, the next important stage of the building work for the new Abbey Fields swimming facilities”.

Despite the weekday closure during this period, the junior playground will be reopened at weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) for the public to use.

Although the junior playground will be closed during the week, the council said the footpath, the older children’s playground, bridge, public toilets and duck-feeding platform at Abbey Fields will remain fully open while the work is taking place.

The council also said it would like to “apologise for any inconvenience caused”.
