Residents have until tomorrow to comment on plans to expand a city council depot into Cowley Marsh Park.

The city council’s Direct Services wants to temporarily expand into the park to create 2400 sq m of extra storage space for its Marsh Road depot.

It said it needs to store additional recycling bins and emergency equipment for use during floods and bad winter weather.

The area, between the council’s depot yard and the park’s tennis courts, used to house a children’s playground until it was moved to another part of the park.

Comments can be made online on the application, ref 15/01661/CT3
