Hyde Park Councillor Welcomes Final Piece in the Jigsaw for Royal Park Playing Fields
October 29, 2004 11:33 PM
People living in the Royal Park area of Hyde Park will soon have a first-class park featuring an all-weather pitch suitable for informal games of football and other ball games, a children's play area and landscaped seating areas suitable for picnics, says Cllr Kabeer Hussain (Lib Dem, Hyde Park & Woodhouse). The North West Inner Area Committee of Leeds City Council agreed on 14th October to provide £16,000 to allow the scheme to go-ahead, and Council Officers drew up plans today which mean the playing fields should be open next summer.
Councillor Hussain said, " Well done to the Area Committee for providing the final piece of funding to allow the playing fields to be completed. The area has been crying out for this kind of park for far too long."
"There's been a long and drawn out consultation process, but in the end it looks like we've got a really impressive facility for all of the local community to use. As well as an all-weather pitch suitable for all kinds of ball-games, there'll be a seated picnic area and children's play area. There'll also be three ramps to allow disabled people to access the park."
"The perimeter of the park is to be landscaped, and more trees will be planted to add to those already there. This will be a real treasure for the local community."
