Re: Milnshaw Park
I appreciate the frustration of the bowlers, believe me I have had MANY site visits with both them and council officers but the councils insurers just won't under any circumstances allow the steps to be reopened, they went as far as saying that they would withdraw the insurance for the whole park if that happened. We have offered every help to the bowlers regarding the slope, graduating the slope (making it wiggly !!!), putting handrails up the wiggly slope, benches up the slope to sit on half way up. This is what is so frustrating about the Observer story because it has blatently twisted facts and blown the whole issue out of all proportion when lots of people have worked SO hard to find a mutually acceptable solution. I've always been 100% honest on things that I have posted on this site and am always willing to come on here to explain what is happening on a subject. Katex, I really appreciate your offer of help, if you can please will you PM me with your contact details and I'll contact you to help on projects that don't involve wriggleing critters !!! I have spent many happy (?????) hours on Saturday mornings litter picking in the park and on one occasion not too long ago picked a beer can out of a bush only to come face to face with a bloody rat the size of a small cat, believe me the speed I reached the top gate surprised not only me but the rest of the volunteers too !!!!!!!!!!!!!
