From Gayles Post
"A couple of us have a meeting with Cllr Britcliffe in a week or so's time and the parks dept are invited. We were told many months ago that, should the bid fail, the council would immediately put money into essential maintenance i.e. paths. At this stage and until we meet with them we don't know exactly what that will entail."
Where is the Council going to get the funds from to repair the paths, a parks budget that has been held back.
