Rosie Winterton MP & Yorkshire & Humber Minister at Friends of Sandall Park
The Friends of Sandall Park in Doncaster will be ‘showing-off’ their Community Spaces funded outdoor gym project to the Minister for Yorkshire & Humber and MP for Doncaster, Rosie Winterton, later today.
Sandra Crabtree, Chair of the Friends group and other representatives will be on-hand to show the Minister how the £20k grant from Community Spaces has helped them ‘design-out-crime’ in the park.
Sandra, Chair of the group, said, “The golf course project has opened up a massive area of the park that was previously unusable due to anti-social behaviour. The area is now a safe area for everyone to use and usable greenspace has been increased at very little cost.We are delighted to show this project off to a government minister.”
It was great to see Rosie today and show off our newly created family recreation area. Great too, to finally meet some of the Groundwork Uk Team who we’ve been liaising with all this time by email and telephone. We are rightly very proud of what we have achieved with this project and look forward to developing it further. It has made a massive difference to our park as a whole, and created a whole new area for visitors to enjoy.
I was very impressed with the time, effort and commitment the Friends of Sandall Park have put into making the park a safe and pleasant place to be. I am delighted that Community Spaces funding has made such a difference.
