Victoria Park - That Sinking Feeling? Options

[Guest_Nelly_*]

Has anyone else noticed the large cracks that have appeared in the Victoria Park pathways recently? The concrete culvert that runs along by the nursery also seems more noticable as well.

I know it's been dry recently, but not drastically more than any other year, just wondering if the changing levels have something to do with the building or water pumping that's been going on in Parkway?

It's been the driest start to the year for 80 years.

It looks like the driest start for 60 years - if that makes any difference...

"June ended with below average rainfall and updated provisional figures show that January to June had average rainfall of around 362.5 mm, making it comparable with 1953 which had 361.1 mm. 1929 had the driest first six months of a year, when 275.7mm of rain was recorded."

However, further in the site it also states...

"From 1 January to 28 June the UK had 356.8 mm of rain, again the driest six months since 1929, when 275.7 mm was recorded."

So I'm not sure if they know what they are on about.
