It confuses me up there, you do like to complicate things.

I realise that our set up is different to yours. But basically the park belonged to Accrington Borough Council, who amalgamated with the urban district councils of Church, Clayton-le-Moors, Rishton, Great Harwood and Oswaldtwistle in 1974 to form Hyndburn Borough Council. We now only have one council in Hyndburn, there aren't any town councils, just the borough council
All the parks are now owned and managed by Hyndburn Borough Council. The park here in Clayton-le-Moors, Mercer Park was owned by Clayton-le-Moors urban district council prior to 1974, but is now owned by Hyndburn Council.
I know its a moot point whether the parks are being managed properly, but they are the responsibilty of Hyndburn Council.
