Improvements are being made on an on-going basis as resources permit. Further progress has been made this year on the restoration of the Walled Gardens and associated structures.

A children's playground would be a desirable additional amenity and plans have been advanced. It is hoped to apply to the Local Authority for the necessary planning permission in the near future.
