The park is in an awful mess.

The drains are all made up along the bottom path, and good luck to anyone bad on their pins or pushing a pram [Romps] trying to circumnavigate the potholes.

The floral displays? Lost for words.

Are you going to put yourself on that committee, to make sure HBC don't get their own way. Would have had a go myself if I was still living on the lane.

Yeah Parky l did read your previous posts, l just noticed that it just seems to be getting more and more run down lately, perhaps on purpose to qualify for lottery money?

I agree Neil would be a good person to have on board, but l think so would you. Just because you're no longer up your tree doesn't mean you can't still play an active part of any Friends group. After all the park is for everyone not just for local residents and you obviously still care.

Thank you for those thoughs, when is the next meeting, if I'm free then I will go along to it.

It has not been announced yet. Sometime in September I think they said it will be.

I don't think they'd object if you wanted to sit on the committee, park381. In fact, I think it's a good idea if it's not just people who live on the perimeter of it that are on the committee. People who live around the park might not necessarily consider other users and visa versa - it's got to be a good mix of people who care about it.

Do you think it will be advertised in the observer

Neil · 06-07-2005, 21:41

I think the last one was advertised in the LET. They put the wrong time (7.30 instead of 7.00) but it was in. When I get told when it is I will let you know mate.

hi everyone, (widening Rhyddings street,) i am now 42 and i used to live at the top end of Rhydding street when i was 2yrs old till 15. The grass verges were there then, its part of Rhyddings street history, it looks nice, and when the blossom trees comes to life it looks beutifull. them days i will admit they was not a lot of cars so i do understand why the coucil want to flag it now, it would be a shame.

I once ran away from home when I was small, and ended up playing at a girl's house at the top of Ryhddings Street. I'm a year younger than you, so you may be the kind, big girl that gave me sanctuary.

St Andrews ward Councillor Brian Walmsley welcomed the scheme.
He said "This is great news for residents in this area who have been struggling with parking issues for some time now."
"The enhancements will make the area much safer and will enable emergency vehicles to access the street if needed" end of article.

Anyone have any info on this, living on Park Lane, emergency vehicle access to us has been a problem for years, even more so, now that the Council has stopped Rhyddings street(top end adjacent to park gates) residents from parking on the grass verges.

Whilst I am not knocking any street improvements, I would be interested to know what the "enhancements" are.

make it one way.
