It was a great disappointment to learn that the Council was unsuccessful in it’s bid for a Lottery grant to develop Beechwood Park.
There was nothing wrong with the bid; just too many good bids chasing too little money.
The Council will submit another next year and, meanwhile, will do what it can to improve the park from its own limited resources.
