No they are not. I am not 100% on the other bid, I will try and find out though.

Clearly nothing happened at the time and it all went quiet until the Friends of Rhyddings Park group was set up a year ago. I wonder what happened to the consultation at the time - anyone know?

I think it was longer than 5 years, maybe it was 10. HBC did apply for a HLF grant for Rhyddings at that time. If you look at the lottery grants awarded to Hyndburn on the lottery web site it shows the amount awarded and the date (I think I showed you a copy of it when you filled that grant application form in for us). They got the 1st stage as we have just done again. Unfortuneatly it was rejected at the second stage that time.
This time we are hoping to be succesfull all the way. As far as I am aware, this time the HLF approached HBC suggesting they applied for a grant for Rhyddings Park again. That in itself is quite promising but, no matter what you read or hear about the grant it is by no means a dead cert. There is a lot of hard work to be done by everyone involved to make sure we are successful this time.
