Repairs to the much-loved pergola in Bridgefoot Gardens, Wetherby, have now been completed thanks to a joint financial effort between Wetherby Town Council and the charitable group Wetherby in Bloom.

The restoration work has breathed new life into the pergola, ensuring it remains a key feature of the riverside gardens for years to come.

The project involved the replacement of rotting posts and repairs to the horizontal beams. As part of the restoration, measures were put in place to improve drainage around the base of the new posts, an important step to help prevent future timber decay.

The timber for the repairs was generously donated by Dickson Timber of Harrogate, and the skilled repair work was carried out by local contractors Copeland Fencing Ltd.
