This week marks one year since the end of the UCI World Championships and the serious damage to West Park Stray.
It has taken almost a year for it to turn green again. Harrogate Borough Council said as the repair works began that West Park Stray would "return to its former glory" - however the Stray Defence Association (SDA) has said it believes the work has not fully repaired the damage and said it remains "dangerous" with surface stones and ruts.
When restrictions were lifted for the UCI Championships to be held, the council was given a legal duty to return the Stray to how it was before the event.
The council said it would spend £130,000 on the restoration and outsourced the work to Lancashire-based contractors Glendale Services.
Yorkshire 2019, the organisers of the UCI World Cycling Championships, agreed to pay £35,500 to help restore the Stray.
