CADISHEAD'S FRIENDS OF 'LORDY PARK', LAUNCH CROWDFUNDER TO FUND VITAL IMPROVEMENTS

A Local community group in Cadishead have set up a Crowdfunder page to raise money towards creating wheelchair accessible paths, raised beds, fencing, signage and a community learning shelter.

The Friends or 'Lordy Park' consists of 10 members who have worked hard with to create an area for the wider community to use.

Sadly the park's beloved disabled accessible play area was heavily damaged by an arson attack in April this year (2023), which left locals disgusted. Police confirmed at the time that a youth had been arrested in connection with the attack.

We spoke with local councillor Lewis Nelson and Craig Havern about the devastation and the work required to see the play area reopened.

The group says that the improvements to the children's play area would help children within the local community as well as local special needs groups and school, to understand things they wouldn’t normally come in contact with on a daily basis. 

Craig Havern said that he hopes that the crowdfunding will help get the community involved in what normally they wouldn’t do, in turn helping them achieve their goals.

The Crowdfunder has raised £330 at the time of writing this article and it is hoped that kind hearted members of the community will dig deep and rise to the occasion, and Cadishead has some of the kindest hearted people in the City.
