Organisers have also once again stressed that there will be no cost to Sheffield Council or taxpayers for the work, after some residents raised concerns over the condition of the park after the rain turned parts of the landscape to mud.

The timescale is:

> Monday, July 23: Tramlines staff visited the park with contractors and the council to carry out the first assessment and plan of work required. This will be revised throughout the week and contractors are booked to begin on Monday, July 31.

> Monday, July 23: Initial assessment was done by Tramlines, Sheffield City Council and contractors. Details of the work required is not yet confirmed.

> Saturday ,July 29: Fences due to be taken down after the removal of festival equipment and structures from the site. Extra extra staff have been brought in to assist and organisers say they aim to meet the scheduled date. There is the possibility of delay depending on progress and weather conditions.
