The lottery figures come from the report quoted in my initial post you will find a link at the bottom of that post.
For the rest, I think a trawl through back copies of the AO would be your best bet.
At a pinch you could use the Freedom of Information Act and ask HBC to spill the beans - it would be interesting to see what you came up with, if anything. You could also do a search on the forums using various park names as a keyword. We have all written at length on the subject of our parks, particularly Milnshaw, Gatty, and Oak Hill there should be lots of quotable stuff there as well as pictures.
Gayle: Yes, what a coincidence! I wonder where it was diverted from. Strange also that money can be found for this and not for the Community Wardens. But, of course, we all know that it is everybody else's fault that money cannot be found to fund the Wardens and nothing whatever to do with the shameful mismanagement of council funds by the Idiot-in-Chief.
