[quote author=tommey link=board=general;num=1059992402;start=0#6 date=08/07/03 at 09:54:00]where is the rest of the money going?
goverment gave the money for greenspacers that allready exist, not for making new parks that was not there to begin with?[/quote]

the funding is coming from:

Area councils:
Developers:
The councils Capital Programme
European Regional Development fund

Most of the money for the Fairfield St play area (£70,000) is from an agreement with Barratt Manchester, who are creating a new housing development on the old Rists site.

Two new skateparks are planned for Rishton & Gt Harwood, which should give the older ones something to do.

It is the minority who spoil things for the rest of us Droo, I agree with that. But the problem goes far deeper than a lack of facilities.
