We are also asking for memorabilia of Firbeck Colliery, sports or life saving of the lake and park, also any old photos of the lake and park, gala events, life saving, colliery, cricket and bowling, we could copy or borrow to display in the centre for future generations.

Never mind all the above proposals, why doesn't someone do something about the old swimming pool and the rubbish that been slung over the bridge. It stinks to high hell when passing. Get some volunteers, or use some money that was allocated to this area, please.
ReplyDeleteHow about building a toilet with hoisting facilities so people that are in wheelchair and can’t get out without help as we have to come home when my missus has to go toilet because there is nowhere for her to go
