I really hope so, other friends groups I've been involved with have made a big difference.

Like I said though, the much heralded million pound grant is far from a certainty, and sounds to me more like a bit of spin from HBC.

Re: Park lights ?

If they don't get something in place fairly quick, and get the grant applied for, HBC could be forced to close the park as being a risk to the public, there is so much maintenance work needs doing, the paths are a prime example. Are the main gates still chained up ?

Re: Park lights ?

If HBC were to grant the money what strings would be attached? A park is for the pleasure of Joe Public so why should they stall or contemplate shuting it. Its time the purse a public purse that was opened for people to enjoy pubic ammenities.

No you are right, it was a common group, ie: The Friends of Tooting Common, and we were very succesful, thank you.

God are you never serious? I'm having a gold medal made for poor Romps having to put up with you.:p

The park won't be closed because of safety issues, it's still, even in it's sorry state of affairs, in better repair than the newly laid flags in Accrington town centre. The council will just continue paying out any claim against them uncontested.

The grant isn't from HBC, it is to be applied for from the Lottery grants agency, although reading the press releases you'd think it was already in the bag, in fact any park in the borough, or indeed the country, can apply.

Now thats what I call out and out cheek they are resposible for parks. Ryddings park was a beautiful place to visit once upon a time so HBC need to get toout of the preverbial and fix it their fingers wether they get lottery money or not.

It has been half open for a few days, with the chain removed. I worked through it this morning and noticed it does not look like it has not been repaired yet.

Now if you had said that in the old days when the doctor lived next door to us, then yes I could understand that, cause he left his car anywhere, his wife was a brilliant pianist following her afternnon sherry
