  Went to Parr Fold Park in Walkden today and was dismayed at what I saw. We are into summer now and not a pretty flower to be seen. Grass had been cut and all the cuttings were lying on the surface, rotting and brown. The bandstand is dilapidated and needs work on it - i.e. painting, cleaning up etc. Tennis court and bowling green not open and no indication of any opening hours. But worse than this was the sheer amount of rubbish lying around. Bins were full to overflowing, and so were the surrounding lawns. One lawn had been cut fairly recently, but only along the edge, whoever had done the cutting had not bothered to remove the litter, now how lazy is that! I was expecting to have a pleasant stroll on a sunny day - but came away sad that the people who use the park chose to litter it in the way that they had, and that the authorities responsible for its upkeep obviously do not care.
