Posted on by

Otley & Yorkshire Dales Dry Stone Wallers

Friends of Parkinson’s Park are now working with Bellway to help  improve conditions in the Park: work will start in November.  So, we’d like to know what you love about the Park, and what improvement you’d like to see.  Do you have a favourite bramble patch you want to keep?  Was the pear tree planted for Aunt Betty? What is your pet hate about the area, as it stands, that you’d like to see improved.  We’d like to know fairly quickly,  so please leave a comment below,  give one of the FOPP committee a call, or just vote in the poll on the top right of your screen.

Bellway, Park Site Visit, 1st November

Oxford Road Entrance. Gate in need of repair.

All Hallows, blessed us with beaustiful weather this morning for our site visit with Bellway.   The FOPP committee showed the Tehnical Director and Quantity Surveyors around the Park,  and feel they were suitably impressed with the ‘beauty’ of the site,  and it’s potential as a greenspace.   Bellway have agreed to tidy up and restore the Park as an ammenity for local people.  FOPP will be working with them over the coming months on this task.  We will also be consulting with people locally on what would make the Park more ‘useable’ and pleasant.  If you have any suggestions on this,  please leave them in the comments section below,  or contact one of the committee.
