Isn’t it a shame that Councils no longer keep Parks as they did years ago, one particular park comes to mind and that is the park in Felling just opposite the old police station, it was always so well kept. I guess councils have other projects to spend money on, diversity issues, immigrants, pensions and£ the like, such a pity.

Nice photo Peter.

It is sad Liz that there is no money to keep the Parks nice as now. Hebburn Park was a lovely Park as I remember. More than half our council tax goes on Children and Adults Services. That's the information we get each year with our new tax demand. Sadly many young children taken into care every week.

That is Stanhope road school in the back ground used as a billet for the army during the second world war and now demolished.
