As well as these there were also a few smaller actions that the project looked to do. These included the use of environmentally friendly plant equipment a vibrating post driver which is more environmentally friendly than a regular post driver. Like most restoration projects there were also some constraints that had to be considered. These included flood risk, project waste disposal and maintaining park safety. In total the project cost £80,000 and took 25 days.
