The installation of the irrigation system funded by the Places People Play Inspired Facilities grant got under way on Monday, 11th March, despite a blizzard soon after the contractors arrived.
Charlie Paget, the groundsman employed by Nottingham City Council which maintains Highfields Park, came ready to dig the first sod …
… and put a cheerful face on the conditions and the task ahead ….
… but the trench-cutting machinery soon arrived ….
…and after blowing away the snow the line for the pipework was marked out and trenching could begin.
