If the maintenance element is left out of the next bid, may be there will be a chance. If you read CABE Space 2004 you will see that the lottery people ask for details of existing park management & maintenance plans, from the state of the park they are none existent.
Lets hope we are all around to see the park brought back to its former glory

I don't think that will ever happen Park, time was when we had our own park keeper and staff, but those days have gone for good, councils of all colours are having to walk a fin line on financing these days, to turn the clock back would mean huge increases in Council Tax, which today is something neither the council nor the public will endorse, its just a sign of the times I'm afraid
