Malden Park





The new Pathway around Manor Park is nearly finished and two new Park benches put in Place.
The flower beds are blooming and volunteers have been busy cleaning out the pond.
With the new sports activity equipment the park is taking on a new life for residents.
Just consider how it was a few years back, the Hall was in a dilapidated state the the ground was run down and looking sorry for itself.
So how was it turned around ? Well, when we took control of the MCNC we your local Conservative councillors pledged ourselves to put right the years of neglect by the ruling Lib Dem MCNC.
 We arranged for a trust to take over the Hall and money was found to restore the Hall and modernise the inside.
We then with the Parks department put together a plan to see if we could get green flag status, the first year we where unsuccessful.
The independent judges made several suggestions  on things that needed to be addressed.
Funding was tight but we managed to find enough to do the work.
The following year we again applied and this time were successful.
But the story does not stop there for each year we have to reapply for the Flag.
This year once more we retained it.
 Your Councillors will never take their eye off the ball like the Lib Dems .
We will do our best to retain that Flag knowing that by doing so we will have a Green Space fit for us all to enjoy and our Children to play.
