Bish dot net News has learned that the application to the Big Lottery Fund to build a children's play area in Bishopthorpe has been turned down.
Lead by the Parish council, the £239 000 bid was developed by Catherine Bruce and Lisa Thornton. Their tremendous energy created what the York CVS described a model application. Although on this occasion funds have not been forthcoming, the case for the play area and its benefits has been strongly made, and we should all be supporting ways in which the dream of a multipurpose facility for our young people can be brought to fruition.
