National Trust and Sheffield's Parks


6th March last year, response to Freedom of Information request asking for details of meetings between SCC and National Trust with a view to getting NT to manage and/or lease Sheffield parks.

"There have been no meetings with the National Trust on proposals for the
management or leasing of council land by the trust."


In today's Times (behind paywall)

"National Trust to help run council parks"
The National Trust will help to preserve Britain’s public parks with a new strategy that focuses less on historic country houses and more on urban green spaces. ......................
The concept will be tested in Sheffield, where officials are working with the city council to protect and enhance 70 public parks and urban spaces.


As yet no information on this at all from Sheffield. Sheffield Star newspaper has nothing. They may get round to it if it develops a football angle.
