STEPHEN HOLLAND ATTENDS THORNFIELD PARK FUN DAY

Stephen Holland, Prospective MP for Stockport, attended the Fun Day 2009 organised by the Heatons Churches Partnership in Thornfield Park, Heaton Mersey. Stephen was joined by local Conservative Councillors Les Jones, Jackie Jones and Anthony O’Neill.

Stephen said, “I would like to thank the organisers. The event was very well attended and it was fantastic to see the local community enjoy this beautiful park, particularly families and children.

“Green space is an important amenity in urban areas and must be safeguarded from overdevelopment. As well as adding to the quality of life of local residents, it provides an area for recreation and is educational by giving children the opportunity to learn more about their local environment. Thornfield Park has been enjoyed by Stockport’s residents for almost 100 years. I want to see this continue.”
