This is most certainly not the case. <BR/><BR/>The Town Park is an extremely popular destination for residents and visitors and we attract over 1 million visitors each year. We work hard to create a safe and enjoyable experience and as always everyone is most welcome.<BR/><BR/>We deeply regret any confusion that may have been caused, in particular to the many people who use and enjoy Telford Town Park.<BR/><BR/>Ron Odunaiya<BR/>Corporate Director<BR/>Community Services"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-57444642782984254732008-09-19T18:42:00.000+01:002008-09-19T18:42:00.000+01:00What a feeble cop-out!If a party leader believes h...What a feeble cop-out!<BR/><BR/>If a party leader believes he "has no influence in local matters taken outside of his constituency and by locally elected councillors" what on earth is he doing "leading" the party?

Too many of these are infected by common purpose and it seems the locally elected councillors give them free reign to do as they please. Even my own council, which is very much a Conservative council, are clients of the pro EUSSR Common Purpose Organisation.....Mr Cameron should be getting councillors that stand under the Conservative banner, to find out why Conservative councils use such an organisation.<BR/>There is much on the web about Common Purpose, especially in relation to its percieved influence within the police force, public bodies and local government and it makes frightening reading in my view.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
