THE car park and a picnic area in Towneley Park in Burnley will be closed for three days from tomorrow while improvement works take place.
Barwise car park and picnic site will be closed from 7am on Wednesday due to a dozen trees being removed as part of a wider project to improve the area.
The car park will re-open as normal on Saturday.
Simon Goff, head of greenspaces and amenities at Burnley Council, said: “We are improving the car park and picnic area by thinning some trees that were planted when the car park was first constructed in 1970s and which have become large and overgrown, causing too much shade.
“In addition to felling work, we’ll install extra picnic benches, making the area brighter and more welcoming for our park visitors.
“We would like to apologise for any inconvenience.”
