Over £4 million secured for Alexandra Park

Manchester has more Green Flag award winning parks than any other authority in the country. One park that has required some real care and attention is Alexandra Park on the edge of Fallowfield ward.
Cllr David Royle stated" Working together with my Labour colleagues and the people's panel we were able to shape a community owned bid to the lottery and press our council into providing match funding. This is fantastic news for the local community and the city"

The £2.2 million from the HLF will be matched by funding from the Council creating a project that will bring major physical improvements to the Park alongside a programme of community activities.
The coming months will see preparation for the Capital Works which should begin around October 2012 and last around 15 months.
Applications have also been made to Sport England and other sports bodies which focus on transforming the sports facilities in the Park.

Housing improvements continue under
Manchester Labour
As part of the previous Labour Government's decent housing pledge, work continues in Fallowfield to transform City South Housing for Tenant's.
Councillor David Royle stated " This £92 million programme would not have happened without the last Labour government. It is about more than bricks and mortar with environmental improvements as well as employment initiatives as part of the programme. One of the first acts of this Tory led government was to drastically cut investment in social and affordable housing, I am determined to stand up to this injustice while pressing for much needed resources".
