Hi,
Unfortunately one of the history boards by the Lowry steps has being
nicked and another covered in graffiti. On top of that the FOAM
notice board looks like its being covered in white paint.
Its very sad, considering the effort & time that went into to raising
finances, researching the history and finally installing the history
boards.
In 2005 we won an award from the Local Heritage Initiative of £24,000
to put up 5 history boards and ran a number of community workshops to
research the history before they were installed along with a the
publication of a booklet and CD rom.
Vandalism spawns more vandalism so hopefully we can clean up the
graffiti and maybe raise finances to get another board in - but
PLEASE if you see anything dodgy happening or vandalism phone the
police - Tel: 0161 2368033 and lets try and keep the park looking its
best for years to come,
regards,
Mike Wingfield
