Sun Colonnade lit up in first part of Valley Gardens improvements
Harrogate Borough Council has installed a new set of lights in the Sun Colonnade in the first of a series of winter improvement in Harrogate's Valley Gardens.
The council spent £15,000 on LED lighting to make the area, which has been subject to anti-social behaviour, more attractive and safer.
In the coming weeks the council plans to steam clean the Sun Colonnade and remove some of the heavy ivy, which would encourage growth of other vines.
The council is also planning to add lights to the trees along the lime tree walk, adjacent to the Sun Colonnade
It comes ahead of a £240,000 refurbishment of the nearby Sun Pavilion, which is set to be complete by February next year.
The Sun Pavilion improvements include reconstructing the floor, new underfloor heating and insulation as well as new floor coverings.
