Deadline looms to sign parks petition

8th July 2017

Local campaign group 38 Degrees want you to sign a petition to help save parks in Southport.

The deadline to sign expires tomorrow lunchtime.

A spokesperson for 38 Degrees said: “Our parks are at risk.

“Decades of neglect mean they’re falling into disrepair.

“And many cash-strapped councils think selling them off to private companies is the only way to fix the problem. We can stop this happening.

“38 Degrees members are calling on councils to sign up with a charity called Fields in Trust. They’re park experts and councils can give them legal powers to run our parks and keep them safe.

“Please can you sign the petition to ask your council to sign up?”
