Re: Milnshaw Park
Hiya
Just been told by a Member of Hyndburn BC staff about this thread so I thought I would give you all an update. Milnshaw Park isn't actually in Milnshaw Ward, its in Central (mental I know !!!) but about two years ago I and some other Milnshaw Ward residents formed a Friends of Milnshaw Park Group. We work really closely with the bowlers and I was personally really disappointed by the story in the Observer because I've always worked hard to help the bowlers. As I'm sure you know there isn't an awful lot of money flying around for parks in our area under the current administration (that's not a political point, its just factual). We have tidied up the tennis courts believe it or not and we have had the undergrowth and bushes extensively cut back to improve visability and safety. We have just put a Lottery bid in to improve the paths around the park and we are keeping our fingers crossed for that. We are DESPERATLY in need of volunteers to help us, so if you can spare us some time, PLEASE, PLEASE contact me. I also remember the park in its prime as my Nana and Grandad lived on Lancaster Avenue when I was young and I spent many happy hours in there. I'm working really hard to regenerate this park, which I would be the first to admit has been neglected. BUT I can't do it on my own
