People are being urged not to enter the dry lake bed at St George Park while the works are still ongoing. The major works at the park in East Bristol were initially expected to be completed in mid-May, and then early July, but the council has now said that the project has taken "a little longer than planned due to a number of reasons".
The £400,000 project will include the creation of new wetlands habitats and an amphitheatre for performances at the popular Bristol park. Bristol City Council first announced that the "area around the lake" would be closed to the public for six months in mid-November.
A park user told BristolLive that she was deeply worried about the lake, particularly during the heatwave last week when she was concerned it may completely dry out. She said she was concerned that, as the works are delayed, this may be having an impact on the wildlife, therefore undermining the whole project.
