Louie Horrocks Park
Wed 9th Aug 2006
After many years of neglect by the Council, Squires Gate Ward Councillors, Robert Wynne and Douglas Green have now been able to allocate £38,500 to make the Park greener and more attractive. This work has seen new gates and fences and the old disused tennis courts removed and landscaped. There is much more to do, but already the park has won the prestigious national "Green Flag" award. A Friends of Louie Horrocks Park has now been formed and will soon obtain official recognition. Contact Robert or Douglas and they will pass on your name if you are interested in joining.
