I am very pleased that a start has been made on building the new café for Moss Bank Park – the old one was destroyed by fire in 2009 (the picture shows the early stages of building the foundations).

The café should be finished in ‘late spring’ and will be officially opened in the summer                                             

It is being partly paid for by the insurance received for the old one. I believe that our revelations that Queens Park (in the Leader of the Council’s ward of Halliwell) had received eight times more investment than Moss Bank Park has hit a raw nerve and helped to get this welcome facility. However it is coming, I welcome it.

I have been assured that the café will not be licenced. We are continuing to try to help bring an improvement to the parking problems on roads around the park.
