Dear Editor

During the recent council debate concerning the future of Liverpool's parks we were very anxious at one clause on Page 27 which described the council putting Parks in an order of priorities to identify "surplus provision"

Having seen this Lib Dem Council already go bandit on its pledge to protect our parks in cases like Stanley Park and Newsham Park to name but a few we were determined not to let this wedge open the door further.

So we moved the amendment that the council's objectives include:

1) No further encroachment of our Victorian Parks

2) That the proportion of parks and green spaces across the city be maintained and enhanced

3) That regeneration initiatives do no compromise the historic character of our parks

We were deleted this protective amendment of our was accepted, however not before The Labour Leader declared that this policy should not apply to Anfield

So can some one in The Labour Group could tell us who leads Labour on this issue,?

Cllr Paul Brandt or Cllr Joe Anderson , as they appear to have a bewildering different approach concerning the recycling of Stanley Park into a football stadium
