Damaged grass to be reinstated at Adur Recreation Ground

Tracks were left across the grass on Monday

Photos taken on Monday show a muddy track had been left across the grounds.

The council has said the damage was caused by a digger, operated by contractors on behalf of the Environment Agency.

It was working to set up compound areas as part of the Adur Tidal Walls project, according to Andy Edwards, head of environment at Adur District Council.
