A Lib-Dem pamphlet recently distributed has several items associating individuals with successful Bishopthorpe projects.
The people concerned are good people who have contributed a great deal to our community, and it is right that their efforts should be suitably recognised. It does, however, seem invidious that they should be picked out for recognition rather than people who, in some instances, have contributed much more to the taks specifically identified.
Since I have direct knowledge of the Crossroads Project, perhaps I could here identify (from amongst the many who have played their parts) the main movers in the Crossroads project.
The Leader of Crossroads and the man mainly responsible for the Sensory Garden was Martin Dudley. The Designer and Project Manager of the Pinfold was Richard Parkin. The work of John Bettridge as Chair of the Millennium Trust inspired, guided and supported all who participated. Thanks to them all.
