Council set to scale back car park improvements at popular country park after failing to secure funding
Work on a new 131-space car park at Burrs Country Park in Bury is to be scaled back after the council failed to secure funding. Last year Bury Council, in response to a huge increase in visitors to the park and related issues with parking, agreed plans to formalise the current overspill car park to create new off-road car parking spaces and a surfaced pavement along Woodhill Road giving pedestrian access into the park.
However, this week a revision to scale back the agreed plans has been submitted to Bury Council. The revised proposal, states: “To reduce the extent of the geogrid parking bay surface and replace with fibrous sand . “There would still be a through road and entrance and exit improvements as per the original proposals.“The land to the north would not be upgraded and would remain as it is at present, a grassed open space available for parking for one off events.
“Due to the increase in visitors to the park and its growing popularity as a tourist destination, and more so recently due to the pandemic which has seen an increase in number of people using the park and outside space, the park requires additional and more permanent parking provision.
