The council has started to lay new grass at Piccadilly Gardens after it was likened to a 'mud bath' following the Christmas Markets.
Recent photos showed how the grass at the city centre gardens had become trodden and sparse following multiple events there, including the EURO cup fan zone, Christmas market stalls and the New Year's Eve countdown event. Council bosses previously promised that plans would be made to lay new turf 'as soon as possible'.
Previously, on Twitter, @WCONNOLLY2512 shared a picture of the muddied gardens, writing: "Piccadilly Gardens post Xmas markets. Just a mud bath and eyesore wooden/metal structures. The gardens are no more."
