New Mills visit a walk in the park for county crime commissioner
The Friends of New Mills Parks plans to transform Bowden Crescent Park at Ollersett into a community facility for families to enjoy.
A £40,000 grant from the commissioner’s Neighbourhoods Investing Criminal Earnings (NICE) Fund - made up of income confiscated from criminals - will help fund the installation of new park equipment, picnic tables, benches and pedestrian gates.
