Restoration work has commenced on 200 year old steps outside Pittville Pump Rooms in Cheltenham.

As part of a conservation management plan that Cheltenham Borough Council and the Friends of Pittville commissioned, the approach to the Pittville Pump Room site sees new stonework installed to replicate the historic layout.

The two original plinths are being refurbished and local stone is being laid to improve and define the historic path down the central lawn. Features that will be installed on the plinths will be decided on at a later date.

Cllr Iain Dobie, member for waste, recycling and street services, said: "I'm delighted to see this conservation work progress, which will enhance the historic landscape at Pittville Park. The Friends of Pittville have been central to the development of this scheme and they deserve a huge slice of the credit for their tireless work and fundraising."
