Sure you do but thought you could put it on your website?<br />Thx<br /><br />Subject: Mersey Valley Wardens<br />Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2013 18:49:16 +0000<br />From: Friends of CWP <br /><br />Dear All,<br /><br />As I am sure you are aware, Manchester City Council want to scrap the<br />Mersey Valley Warden service as part of their latest round of cuts. They<br />have said scrapping the wardens will save £150,000. However, they also<br />propose to use Neighbourhood services to maintain the Mersey Valley at a<br />cost of £80,000 so there isn't a great saving.<br /><br />I'm really worried what will happen to the Mersey Valley without the<br />Warden service. They have the expertise, equipment, buildings, and<br />enthusiasm. I also don't know how many safety boats Neighbourhood<br />services have to handle problems on the lake at Chorlton Water Park.<br /><br />As you all use Chorlton Water Park, and hopefully lots of other areas<br />within the Valley, can I ask you to email Cllr Rosa Battle at MCC,<br />cllr.r.battle@manchester.gov.uk <br />and let her know your thoughts. Could you also ask your members to do<br />the same. The absence of the Wardens can effect us all. Also, there is a<br />meeting on Friday 15th Feb from 5-7pm at St. Barnabus Hall, Hardy Lane,<br />Chorlton. Cllr Battle will be attending. This is part of the public<br />consultation process. There is also a drop in session at Chorlton Water<br />Park on Sunday 17th Feb from 3.-4.30pm. Eamon O'Rourke will be<br />attending. He is the Head of Communites and Parks. We really do need all<br />your help and support. So if you can get word spread, and as many people<br />as possible at the meetings it really will be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Many thanks for your time.<br /><br />Best regards<br /><br />Janet Copley<br />Chair, the Friends of Chorlton Water Park.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608949564905689933.post-92133371612995425632013-02-08T07:54:26.055+00:002013-02-08T07:54:26.055+00:00Hello- I have emailed also and hope for a response...Hello- I have emailed also and hope for a response soon!<br />Fingers crossed!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608949564905689933.post-84502009006950849662013-01-29T21:20:32.760+00:002013-01-29T21:20:32.760+00:00Hello - I have emailed the council just now.
