The flower beds are full of colour, the grass is neat and overgrown areas have been tackled. That has changed, work is underway to restore St Nicholas’ gardens to their former glory. They were overgrown, lacked colour, were not welcoming and a source of pride was no longer a space to enjoy. It’s been a few years since I’ve done that because the gardens have not weathered the economic storm all that well. I was in Whitehaven town centre recently and I noticed drastic changes in St Nicholas’ gardens, I was actually stopped in my tracks and I felt compelled to take some time out to wander the grounds. And while social media has given us all a platform to voice our displeasure at the changes wrought in our towns, it can be easy to get hung up on the negatives and gloss over the positives when they take place.
