REV REVAMP ON THE WAY FOR NEGLECTED PARK Facility to be transformed with children’s play area, paths, benches and trees after funding is secured Report by Tom Martin A NEGLECTED park in Thornton will be transformed with the arrival of a new children’s play area, as well as new bins, paths, benches and trees. Runnels Lane Park, which is the only park in R Thornton, will have a wide-scale revamp after local residents urged the council to improve the site for children and families. The new paths will be created around the edge of the site and the trees will be planted along the boundary of the park to improve the local environment and wildlife. The existing multi-use games area will also be refurbished. Once completed, a new group called Friends of Runnells Lane Park will help look after the site. Cllr Ian Moncur, cabinet member for health and wellbeing said: “This is the only public park in Thornton and it provides an important community space. “It’s fantastic to see improvements that will benefit people of all ages in the area in the pipeline.”

Funding has been secured by Manor Ward from the borough council’s Green Sefton service in partnership with the Neighbourhoods Team through the Veolia Environmental Trust, which support community projects across the whole of England. A contribution of Section 106 Planning monies has also been allocated to the park improvements. A drop-in session at the park was held last year to provide residents and park users with the opportunity to see the improvement plans and share their views with the council. A final design that takes the views of the local

community on board, has been agreed and after an extensive procurement process, Horticon is the successful company that has been chosen to deliver the project. Sefton Council is seeking members of the community to help establish a Friends of Runnells Lane Park group who would undertake volunteer duties and support events and activities. Those interested can contact Green Sefton by emailing greensefton@sefton.gov.uk. The work is scheduled to be completed and open to the public by the end of summer.
