The council is set to replace grass at Piccadilly Gardens, which has been likened to a 'mud bath' and war trenches after the Christmas markets.
in order to transform the gardens into less of an eyesore, which councillor Pat Karney said was 'unavoidable' due to the huge crowds drawn to the site over the festive period. On Twitter, @WCONNOLLY2512 shared a picture of the muddied gardens, writing "Piccadilly Gardens post Xmas markets. Just a mud bath and eyesore wooden/metal structures. The gardens are no more."
Councillor and city centre spokesperson Pat Karney told the Manchester Evening News that the turf will be replaced 'as soon as possible', acknowledging the state the city park has been left in in recent weeks due to the Christmas markets being held there for another year.
