The fee will go towards the renovation of the bus shelter in the park, which is set to re-open in 2018 as The Tree House Café.

As part of its transformation, the building has undergone extensive repairs, including a new roof, windows, doors, and shutters plus all brickwork repairs and pointing. A new front door is to be fitted on Wednesday (10 January) and electricity will be connected in the next two weeks.
