A few dots are starting to join up in my mind - which is good!

Anyway a few weeks ago I posted the attached thread - I posted it mostly so that you wouldn't all leap on me because the person had a similar name

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=17889

Anyway, the point of that thread is about an audit on all our green spaces that's being done by some consultants appointed by HBC.

Then this thread started to wander onto the amount of money spent on parks

Then, I received an email a few minutes ago from Hyndburn Community Network

Research on green spaces and outdoor recreation provision
The council has appointed external consultants to undertake a comprehensive audit of parks and gardens, children's play areas, civic spaces, footpaths, cycle ways and bridle paths as well as outdoor facilities such as tennis courts and bowling greens.

The study will examine the quality, distribution and use of spaces and facilities and will include all sites whether managed within the public, private, voluntary or education sector. The consultants will appraise the capacity of space and/or facilities to meet the demands being placed on them now and in the future by seeking to identify the extent and type of use. This will help the council and its partners to secure external funding, improve provision and inform land use planning policy, in terms of protection and future allocation of outdoor recreational space.

If you represent a community, voluntary, faith sector group, private/business or the education sector and have an interest in open and green space please contact the council to get involved in the consultation because they are keen to promote the consultation process and to seek involvement from the wider community.

Anyway, it all links up nicely to this thread

Sorry, it's been a bit long winded but it would appear that our council is acting on the parks and it is likely to be going for some of the funding.
