So that the youth of today are on the fields playing sports or with friends resulting in lower obesity levels and less chavs on buses playing loud crap music, sorry...rap music, and threatening to stab you in cold blood.

and that costs £30 million? The place already has an outdoor gym!

birchy you can stop at ours if you want! i'll have a bar b q 2 min walk from the ground!

Yet again Orford getting unfair treatment within the council's budget. Thousands was spent on Orford Youth Base, despite the youth council saying they didn't want it, and now it's there people dont know about it or don't want to go.

Orford is in the top 7% of deprived areas and spending silly amount on a swimming pool won't change that.

getdownmonkeyman- I am simply trying to encourage a bit of debate on here, which people on this forum sadly can't understand without a smiley after every single word. This is exactly the kind of conversation which would have taken place in The Town Hall

I think Orford Park should be financed by the people of Orford. If that doesn't work out then it simply shouldn't go ahead.

At the end of the day I don't want my tax revenue to be used on a £30 million park project which is going to get burnt down/ stolen, and then not be able to get a bus back from the rugby.

"There is no such thing as society".

Where does this £30 million figure come from?

Take into account the rise in inflation, VAT moving back up to 17.5% and the fact these are always underestimates, it looks like it will no doubt cost a lot more than that then eh.

No, a lot less.

Just spoken to a contact at WBT, there will be six buses leaving from winwick street after the match. Details are yet to be finalised but they have been organised as a private hire, so won't be doing specific routes as such.

Great news IMO, hopefully they will now scrap the stupid plans all together!
