    Mayfield has gone into administration

    Story by PlaceNorthwest.co.uk

    Liverpool-based Mayfield Construction has gone into administration with 72 of the 75 staff being made redundant.


    Mayfield Construction, which is based on Knowsley Industrial Park in Kirkby, was part of the project team that restored the Garden Festival park site in Otterspool.
    Working on behalf of site owner Langtree, the construction firm was the main contractor on the refurbishment of the park where the International Garden Festival took place in 1984.


    Following the announcement of the collapse of Mayfield, Langtree said that the gardens' opening will need to be put back from July to mid-September as it searches for a replacement contractor to complete Mayfield's contract.


    John Downes, Langtree managing director, said: "We are sad that Mayfield has found itself in this predicament having almost completed the works necessary at the site. Good people have lost their jobs, the opening date for the gardens will unfortunately be delayed and we, like a number of other companies, are likely to lose money as a result of Mayfield's collapse.


    "We are now working very hard behind the scenes to identify a new contractor to complete the works and we hope to have some positive news very soon.


    "I know from personal experience how keen people are to see the new gardens and it is frustrating that they will have to wait a little longer. However, I can assure you that it will be worth the wait."


    Downes added that emergency ground maintenance staff are being drafted in by Langtree on a temporary basis to tend to the newly laid lawns and flower beds until a new contractor is identified.


    Downes said: "On the plus side, when we re-open everything will have had a little longer to bed in and mature and the gardens will look even more spectacular."

    Grrr.


    It was no mistake - they've already put back the opening date twice because of problems they've been experiencing for some time now, for reasons I've already mentioned above in this Thread. The fact is, the work hasn't been carried out very well and Langtree and Mayfields have each blamed the other.

    Today's news is that the opening has been put back for a third time, due to the collapse of Mayfields. September is apparently the earliest it is likely to happen now.

    Just got back from a cycle to Otterspool and a gate to the festival gardens was open so I had a look it. The ponds are still being filled in, I think the play areas being done up still a bit, another part but it's nearly done otherwise.

    I am not sure whether it's actually open yet but I just thought I'd have a look since a gate was open. Also had a go at reading the Japanese on the gates and the stone that explains how someone from Japan was sent over by their government to make sure it was authentic. They had it all in English anyway.

    Lots of bike locks and dog poo bins too.

    I've heard it won't open until April next year now

    I hope it isn't true

    I think you're right... It was certainly looking a good deal better last April than it is now. And seeing as it's supposed to be an actual garden, it might be best to wait until there are actual blooms to admire...

    Wasn't open when my mum went down but the builders told her sometime in November but you're probably right. I must of just caught it open at the right time to have a look.

    Always on the bike still, just finding photography troubling at the moment.
