I would like to thank St Helens Council through your paper for the work that has been carried out at Bankes Park in Billinge.

Over the years it has been transformed from an ordinary piece of land to an award winning beautiful park. It is nice to see children and people of various age groups enjoying and using the facilities provided by the council when walking in or past the park.

It is not only local people, but people from Orrell and as far away as Ashton that are willing to travel to use it.
