A long-forgotten bridge there when the park was formed in 1833 is also being rebuilt, Preston City Council said, while the Grade II* listed park will also get an improved playground, a better football changing pavilion and a wildflower meadow will also be created.The overhaul is part of the £20m the city council received from the previous government's Levelling Up fund.

The works around the lake will see the de-silting and extension of the waterbody to its original size as proposed by Edward Milner, the original designer of the park.In addition, footpaths and railings surrounding the lake will be upgraded, and the Serpentine Bridge will be reinstated.Mark Taylor, interim director of environment and property at the city council, said the work was "essential" as part of a significant effort to preserve the lake and protect the surrounding habitats.

He said the project would "revitalise the park, enhancing it as a welcoming space for both the local community and wildlife to enjoy for years to come".The works are set to be completed by next year.

Residents have been advised to keep windows and doors closed after a large tyre fire sent huge plumes of smoke into the sky.

Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said it was dealing with the fire near Broadwell, close to Carterton and the border with Gloucestershire, on Wednesday evening."It was my dream house and I had just decorated it as I was planning to have lodgers living with me," she said.

The fire broke out on Saturday 23 November.Tricia had been in bed unaware that the fire had caught hold of her home when the alarm was raised by a neighbour who had seen the flames.

The woman, who lives across the street, rushed over in her dressing gown and banged on the door to get Tricia's attention."When I opened the door she was shouting: 'Come out, come out'," said Tricia.
