IMPROVEMENT work to make it easier for people to walk around hall park is underway.

Allerdale council has commissioned work to enhance Cuckoo Arch at Hall Park in Workington.

The work, carried out by Toman Paving Ltd, involves excavating and clearing the route of the overgrown path that passes underneath the arch and which was once an integral part of the network of paths and carriageways of the park, providing a link to the 'upper park' and Schoose Farm.

The re-established path will provide a more gentle gradient to enable access from Hall Bank to the entrance to the Park off Stainburn Road.

Vegetation will be also removed from the stone walls on either side of the path to expose the stonework and repairs to the wall will be also be carried out.

The work is being funded by Allerdale council with additional grants from Nuvia and the Tesco Bags of Help scheme.
