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.”
