Please join us TONIGHT for a PUBLIC MEETING about West Bank Park Heritage Project.
Holgate Methodist Church, at 7pm
Over the last 3 years we have been working and campaigning to develop a new Heritage Centre and Community Café in the Park Keeper’s Lodge in West Bank Park. From the start our aims have been to bring people together, build pride in our community, celebrate our incredible history & generate revenue to help protect the park.
This week we were about to announce new funding for the next stage of the project, when we got the news that the lodge was on fire. Since then we have learned that the damage is very serious and future of our project is now in question.
Like many other people we are very shocked and upset by what has happened. The building was a link to the park’s famous past and an important landmark at the heart of our community. This project, however, has always been about much more than bricks and mortar and we feel it is now more important than ever. With the support of local people we are determined to continue.
To keep going we need your support. Please join us TONIGHT for a PUBLIC MEETING , at Holgate Methodist Church at 7pm to find out more.
