Volunteers from The Friends of Stanningley Park group are inviting all local residents and businesses to attend their next open forum meeting to discuss ways to improve the park.
The meeting provides a chance to discuss ideas and give people a chance to get more involved in the group.
Councillor Kevin Ritchie (Lab, Bramley & Stanningley) will be providing updates regarding the ongoing improvements from the council as well as talking about potential funding and proposals for community led events. Everyone is welcome to attend.
“This is an open meeting and I would encourage as many people as possible to come along and get involved,” said Cllr Ritchie. “I am looking forward to seeing the community getting involved and helping to progress development in the park.”
The Friends of Stanningley Park group is a newly formed group of volunteers who are trying to make a difference to the green space. They are actively seeking more members who are willing to get hands dirty with litter picking, planting trees and organising fun community events. They are also seeking the support of businesses who may be able to help with small amounts of funding or donations of materials or raffle prizes etc.
The meeting will be held on Tuesday, 19 March, 6pm to 7pm at St John’s Methodist Church, Bright Street, Stanningley. The event can be found on Facebook or e-mail friendsofstanningleypark@gmail.com for more details.
WLD reported earlier this week on the council’s Inner West Community Committee approving a £36,000 grant towards a revamp of a run-down multi-use games area (MUGA) in Stanningley Park.
