SAVING OPEN SPACES
On Saturday 2nd October, open space campaigners are holding a 'March for Parks' to ask for an end to development on Liverpool's precious public spaces. Starting from the Pier Head at noon, its destination will be Church Street. The organisers - the new Liverpool Branch of the CPRE (Campaign to Protect Rural England) - say that it will be 'a good-natured stroll' and that banners, balloons, babies and buggies will all be welcome! Further details from Pam Leadbeater on 0151 421 0305.
