In February we wrote to the owner of the ex-Manweb Sports Ground asking about progress. He has explained that plans are still being drawn up for a full upgrade of the recreational facilities, the aim being to create 'a first rate facility for local kids' with the emphasis on teaching (and enjoying) football. A colour brochure has been produced to illustrate the scheme, and the intention is to submit a planning application before too long. We were alarmed to see a 'Care Home' indicated on the corner of Millstead Road and Thingwall Road; though on another page of the brochure a 'Pond' is shown in this location. The owner has agreed to meet with our Committee to present his ideas and to hear our concerns.
