Councillor Geoff Driver (Labour,
Middleton Park Ward) said:
"Over many years Middleton Park has gradually become a poor
relation of the other major Victorian and Edwardian City parks in
Leeds such as Roundhay and Golden Acre, This has meant that it has
not always received the support it needed in order for it to remain
in anything like its original state.
The Council's support for the Lottery bid and the generous
involvement of Wades Charity is just what is needed to reverse that
trend. If the bid is successful, we can look forward to Middleton
Park, a huge recreational space at the very heart of South Leeds,
attracting visitors from all over the city and beyond. I wish the
scheme every success - as do residents throughout South Leeds."
