Friends of Lowndes Park Chesham

Hardly news, but we ended 2008 on a disappointing note. The Town Council was unsuccessful in its bid for heritage lottery funding under the Parks for People scheme. The Friends have it on good authority that there was nothing intrinsically wrong with the bid but the number of applications far exceeded the available funding.

If we had been able to submit the bid a year or two earlier I am confident that we would have been successful, but those as they say are the breaks.
