It appears, from a brief perusal of the HBC website ( I like to keep an eye on them-Just in case..) that our woefully out-of-touch councillors have decided on yet another scheme to demonstrate their estrangement from reality.
They have, in their municipal wisdom, decided to enter Mercer Park and Oak Hill Park in the national Green Flag Scheme which is awarded for excellence in public open spaces.

What a sad and telling indictment of their neglect and mismanagement it is that, even by their own estimation, only
two of the borough's
eleven parks come anywhere near the standard required for entry into the competition.
