Dear Messenger...

Gordon Lawton reminisces...

It gave me great pleasure to read the article in the April 2006 Messenger regarding the Wembley Playground at the bottom of Sutherland Road. I spent many a Saturday afternoon playing there in the late 1940s and early 1950s…

I’m writing in response to the letter about New Deal and Burngreave Community Action Trust (BCAT). The sad truth is that when New Deal was being established, with community participation and consultation, all that we said did not have any real weight when it came to the crunch.

BCAT's response to the May 2006 letters

The statements printed in May 2006 from the BCAT and BCAF, were not in response to statements made by John Clark in the April 2006 issue. They were submitted for inclusion in April but not printed.
