The doggie walking fraternity is awash with rumours that the gardens are closing to the public this summer due to the renovation works.

From what has been picked up from the gardens staff the top half of the gardens will be imminently closing and a complete closure will happen before August!!

For those local residents that remember attending meetings where we were promised that the gardens would remain open this has come as a big shock.

I shall be writing in a letter of complaint to the museum.

Not good.
