Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Tracey Crouch and Lucy Allan

Thursday 3rd December 2015 Commons Chamber

[Lucy Allan (Telford) (Con)]

T2. The Minister will be delighted to know that last night, Telford Town Park was announced as the UK’s best park. Will she join me in congratulating all those involved, particularly in Hollinswood and Randlay Parish Council, Friends of Telford Town Park and Telford and Wrekin Council, for the important work that they do?

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Tracey Crouch)]

This is excellent news for the people of Telford, and I congratulate everyone involved on winning the best park award. Urban parks are vital in providing opportunities for people to get active in the fresh air, and it is important that we protect them for the benefit of local communities.
