Joint Statement from George Howarth MP, Maria Eagle MP and Marie Rimmer MP on Knowsley Council’s Future of Knowsley Parks and Greenspace Strategy

In January, in response to Knowsley Council’s Cabinet proposals for the future of Knowsley Parks and Greenspace Strategy, we asked Knowsley Council to ensure that the concerns raised by residents “be carefully examined and, also, the possibility of other options…. be examined”.

We concluded by calling on “the Council to keep an open mind on other options and in moving forward on the issue to take into account all of the concerns raised by constituents before any irrevocable decision is taken”.

Despite the enormous financial pressure they are under because of Government cuts to its grants, Knowsley Council have taken into account the wishes of residents and we warmly welcome today’s announcement as clear evidence of the Council’s willingness to take into account public opinion.
