Anyone here follow much of the heritage stuff going on at Towers? In other words the real TLC the park needs.
Just a couple of things I've noticed and wanted to open up discussion about:

Just a couple of things I've noticed and wanted to open up discussion about:
- The fountain in Her Ladyship's Garden which was recently restored has been taken away. WTF?
- The fences surrounding Her Ladyship's Garden have also been removed - this I'm very pleased to see because I thought they looked completely stupid. Why were they even put there? They seemed overkill for Scarefest given temp fencing was always used. Either way, this pleases me.
- The main stained glass windows at the front of the Towers are still missing with a scaff tower sitting in place. Thought that would have been finished by now. What gives?
- The Pergoda fountain looks to be under restoration. Fantastic!
- The garden conservatories are surrounded by scaff. Anyone know if this is just maintenance work or are they putting in something new?
- The gardens are STILL, generally speaking, a horrendous mess.
- The Swiss Cottage looks depressing. I hope if it's not going to used for anything that they keep it in good standing.
- The Towers ruins still have very limited access, which again is very disappointing.
