You don't need to tell me about the demise of the park I lived in the area for 28 years, and saw the demise with my own eyes, however that still does not excuse the lack of maintenance funding over the last few years during the tory rule.
At the end of the day Rhyddings Park is in urgent need of restoring to it's former glory, be it via a Labour/Tory Council/Belated Lottery Grant/Efforts of the Friends of Rhyddings Park

I agree that the Parks should be restored to their former glory, but in these days of spiralling costs, the general public would be up in arms if the council tax were to increase to pay for everything which they think is essential, its a catch 22 position, your damned if you do and damned if don't. The only way forward is by outside financing, which in the scheme of things isn't easy to come by either, that is unless you represent groups supporting Asylum seekers and the like, then money is pored in like its a bottomless pit
