Some work to
remove fencing is still in progress, however the entire site is expected to be
clear by the end of today - July 18th.
The protective measures
put in place during the Blackweir Live events have worked well and the grass,
including the cricket pitches, is generally in very good condition.
Now that the
area has reopened to the public, work will begin to reseed any small patches of
worn grass and restore any compacted areas of soil, if necessary. As part of
the bond agreement put in place ahead of the events, these costs will be
covered by the event operator.
Subject to
weather conditions, the grass should be back to its pre-concert condition
within the next few weeks.
