Labour Graves Park leaflet

To be fair, the Graves Park ward has three Lib Dem councillors who do work to protect the park. Hard battle against a Labour majority led council though.

so if any of you think that the defence of Graves park is the issue you feel most strongly about then you might want to consider voting lib-dem

 

remember it has been said it does not matter who you vote for the council will get in... all you can effect is the flavour of the council you want for the next term as whoever is in will carry on much as theyu did before.  This is particularly true of general elections..  don't believe me   you dont have to just ask yourself when did you last see the party that won an election and ousted the  incumbents reverse some of the previous government's policies?

 

then ask why did they not?

and then ask .....    then just who is in charge? a question which may not be answered in within our lifetimes

well said ... and sending it to the charitry commission   good idea I hope it works.

 

what is it that the council have got against greaves park? It's Graves Park

 

next local election ask your council candidates about their views on greaves park  It's Graves Park ...    though do recall it is not the councillors that run the council and make decisions on behalf of us all that we don't actually want it is the council employees who have to go to the cabinet to gain approval for disposals

local councillors are lib dem and have been for many years ask them why they didnt invest money in the empty dilapidated cottage when they were in power also government

Alternatively, you could look at the reasons councils have to sell off assets:

Great British sell-off: how desperate councils sold £9.1bn of public assets

 

Councils forced to sell off parks, buildings and art to fund basic services

 

Then go and vote for the party who enabled austerity.

Hmmm, from your Guardian link dated March 2018, it shows a picture of Court Hey Park in Knowsley.

 

Threatened with sale over a year ago, yet not done.

 

The money from the sale of the parks is going into  “a £40 million endowment” over the next 15 years.

 

A Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council spokesman said: “The income from the endowment will be held in and managed by a newly-created charitable trust.

 

Doesn't sound to me like desperate sales to pay for essential council services.

 

And In June 2018:

 

Knowsley Council plans to sell off 10% of parks dropped

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-44446112

 

And since then Knowsley Council has done well out of selling old industrial brownfield land to developers.

 

I'm reminded of the story from a few years ago about how councils were "forced" to sell school playing fields to developers because of nasty Austerity.

 

When it turned out that many of these school playing fields were at the site of closed schools - schools closed under Labour.
