I don't know much about all this, but is there a danger some scaremongerers have added 2 and 2 and got 5?
What about thisThe council has to keep the land open for public use because of a covenant agreed when it was handed the keys by Lord Daresbury.
The council’s aims are to secure the future of the hall, create jobs and retain the parkland in public ownership. '"

Sounds quite good actually?
More info needed I think.

| Quote: The All New Chester Wire "It's part of the Philistinisation of life generally. As 71 has pointed out before, Warrington is pretty much a cultural backwater and whilst limited, Walton Gardens does have some attractions. Shame the Heritage Centre with its history of the property and the Lewis Carroll story has closed. There is an interesting bike collection there at the moment.'"
It is a shame about the Heritage Centre, I've been a fan of that and often take my child to see it. The Lewis Caroll stuff is something Warrington should boast more about.
4 generations of my family (that I know of) have enjoyed Walton Gardens over the years. |

Think the councils idea is a good one. They have no money to do anything with the place & if it doesn't get sold will fall into rack & ruin. At least this way the rest of the park will be preserved & improved.

In fairness to the Council, the HSE was behind the removal of the equipment. Orford Park is choc full of play equipment. |

Intriguing concept.
I'm going golfing on Saturday morning, but I'm not an elitist snob nor do I have stupid trousers. |

Just to remind you, this thread relates to the potential loss of a much loved public amenity, not 2 posts about petty class hate from people with an obvious chip on their shoulders. To quote "rich elitist snobs" and wanting that (Lymm) pompous pooh hole to be tarmaced, just goes to illustrate this.
I, like Mass Effect, will be playing golf on Saturday, wearing a pair of normal trousers. I am in no way, an "elitist snob", as the fact of being born in Bewsey, lived in the Wilderspool area, and have lived in Padgate for the last 12 years, will bear me out.
Enough of your Proletariat attitude, or I'll set one of Lord Daresbury's Beaters onto you. |
