Good morning folks
You will have noticed some frustrating damage on the grass surface at Todd Park which happened late last week. Unfortunately, this was caused by some heavy machinery that was doing contracted geotechnical discovery work as part of the Geraldine Water Strategy.
We appreciate that this is one of Geraldine’s most iconic green spaces that is very visual. We have had reassurance from the Timaru District Council that the contractor responsible will repair the damage as soon as possible at their expense.
