THE long-running revamp of Central Park won't be completed for almost another year yet. Work has restarted on the stalled upgrade after the area was branded a "moonscape" and "eyesore" by residents in neighbouring streets.
But Plymouth City Council has now said the project won't be completed until "late summer 2025" almost three years after it started. The council has, however, stressed it has got enough cash to finish the work.
In the answer to a question from former city councillor and now alderman Dr John Mahony, the council said: "The main construction works will be completed very soon; however, we are beholden to the weather and seasons regarding the tree planting and seeding - at the very latest these will all be completed early spring 2025 and then we need to allow for a three to six month 'settling in period. The completion therefore is estimated to be late summer 2025.
