Liberal Democrats encourage all to vote for Lordship Rec in Mayor's park competition

Haringey Liberal Democrats have emailed all of their members and supporters asking them to cast a vote for Lordship Recreation Ground in its bid to get a £400,000 slice of the Mayor of London's "Help a London Park" fund.

The money would be used for improvements to the much neglected park, the biggest in Tottenham. Ideas include a new city farm, environmental centre, restoration of the River Moselle, improved entrances, play facilities and landscape works.

Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Culture, Leisure & Lifelong Learning, Cllr David Winskill, said:

"I have a real soft spot for Lordship Rec. Years ago, when I was student, I had a vacation job as a park keeper there and fell in love with the place. It is a real green oasis in the built up city and I hope everyone will take half a minute to vote. The local Friends Group has worked really hard and deserves the money to make the improvements."
