The car park did open on the very weekend that the warship was visiting but was not open when I cycled past a few days later.

The paved walkways appear to be as good as finished and ready to accept pedestrians.

Unfortunately, most of the recently planted semi-mature pine trees on the landscaped patch (close to the Doctor Who exhibition centre) appear to have failed to adapt and are dying. There are substantial brown sections on nearly all of them .

big yellow signs with the words 'glow xxxx' have appeared all around the new developdment, advertising the soon to be completed path.

I have to say in the summer evening sun the colours down their looked very vivid and quite attractive
