Barnes Park was recently awarded a Heritage Lottery grant to restore and redevelop the park. Changes are to include restoration of historic features such as the canon, bandstand, railings and gates along with regeneration of the lake, a sensory garden and a new games area. Security of the park will also be improved making it a space that residents and visitors of all ages can enjoy.
Congratulations to the City Council, the Friends of Barnes Park and all those other people involved in securing the funding.
The BBC Wear website has more information on the plans and the history of the Park here.
It sounds like it will be a great place to escape to!

- The Residents' Association
- We are a group of local people who have formed this Residents’ Association because, as individuals, we feel that there is a sense of disempowerment within our community. We are concerned about the way in which changes are being implemented in our area and the possible impact of these changes on this community. With this in mind we aim to try to improve the well being and living conditions of all living within the area.
We meet on the 1st Tuesday of the month at 7pm in St Mary Magdalene's Church Hall, Wilson Street, Millfield - Minutes of each meeting will be posted here.
