Why are we waiting?

Queens Park Lesiure Centre.
Still waiting for planned improvements.







Cllr Marie Rimmer has urged the Lib Dem Lead Council to get their act together and make some progress on the Council’s leisure strategy that was agreed in April.

Marie said “ Since the LD/Tory alliance took control of the council in May things have gone quiet on the proposed new soccer centre at Queens Park and the plans for the Boundary Road swimming pool. Residents can rest assured that I intend to keep asking the questions on behalf our community until firm answers are provided”

Taylor Park Boathouse Cafe

St John’s Centre will shortly be opening the Boathouse tea Rooms in Taylor Park. The Café will provide refreshments and afternoon teas . Labour Campaigner Marlene Quinn suggested that the people at St John’s should be involved with managing the Boathouse café last year. Marlene said “They do a great job at St John’s Centre and I am certain they will make a success of the boathouse café too” Hopefully the café will be open 7 days a week for park visitors during winter and summer.
