    Last Chance to Save Facilities in Botanic and Hesketh Park

    This is your last chance to sign the petition to save the facilities in Botanic Gardens and Hesketh Park! We have just over 2,000 signatures but 3,000 would be better! Please sign the petition if you haven't already done so - if you have then Thank You
    Can anybody take a petition and gather some more names - the Bold, Hesketh and Shrimper results were disappointing to say the least with less than 100 names between them - could somebody go round one evening and grab some more signatures? swampeyes and myself are going to gather some more from Churchtown School tomorrow - can anybody be at Larkfield/Presfield Schools tomorrow - best working in pairs if you can?
    We have to have the signatures in by Thursday afternoon so we don't have very long for this push!

    Tougholdbird, I've got another 49 signatures so I'll put them through your door at some point today, probably around 1.30 (if the dogs will let me)

    As the meeting on Friday never got around to making any decisions about the playing fields/bowling greens/croquet lawns/ football pitches etc I wonder whether they will get around to talking about Botanic Gardens/Hesketh Park at their next meeting.

    They, apparantly, spent so much time reviewing the comments from the online and written petitions that they never got around to making any decisions about the potential rises in the charges.

    So those of us who are likely to be affected by the potential rising costs may not get an answer before the commencement of the playing season.
    I may be old but I ain't stupid..!!!
