Action on parks

There is no doubt about something has to be done about the King's park. But what?

We need a strategy around what we want our park to look like. I will be working over the next few weeks to build a strategy, then start the major task of convincing people that it is something worth paying for. The park has never been a real strategy before with glory projects like the waterside and the sports village taking precedence. It is only when we choose the King's park as a priority that something will be done.

The current strategy would not give us much change out of £5m and that money would have to come from somewhere. I believe that we can no longer afford not to spend money on this vital resource.
