THE historic Longford Park is in need of a massive facelift - and needs your help.

The Friends of Longford Park and Trafford Council are aiming to put forward a £2 million lottery bid in September to breathe new life into the park - and they need public support to impress the decision makers on how much the park matters to local residents.

Work is already ongoing, with £80,000 being spent on the children's playground, and £700,00 has already been put aside to matchfund any successful bid.

There are already impressive plans to revitalise the park, including the Japanese garden, pet's corner and the art deco bowls shelters, but the Friends now want to hear from the public on what they would like to see.

The Friends' AGM meets at Longford Stadium, Longford Park on June 26, starting at 7.30pm. All welcome
