Ramsbottom Park in desperate need of attention

imageOn the 19th of July 2015 me and my family went to the local Ramsbottom Park “Top Park” (Bolton Road West Playing Fields) and it was quite obvious that they are in need of some serious attention.

I was chatting with someone who’d brought his family there too and he had heard that the park is due to receive funding and renovation next. It really is in a sorry state, it probably didn’t help us going straight after the schools broke up, but that’s still no excuse for it’s condition.

On the plus side, people were using the bins, its just a shame they hadn’t been emptied recently.

Does anyone have additional information about this funding and possibly a timeline as to when it will be renovated?

Edit: As of January 2016 Top Park has STILL not been renovated. I have contacted the council to find out exactly what has happened to this renovation money that was apparently made available and I will update this post when I receive some information.

Additional: I have received a reply from Bury Council now, they have suggested that this park will receive some treatment this Summer:
