Historic Urban Parks: Heritage Lottery Funding
Lord Fearn asked Her Majesty's Government:
- How many Victorian parks have received heritage lottery funding in each of the past three years to date; and where these parks are situated.[HL3144]
Baroness Blackstone: The Heritage Lottery Fund supports applications for the refurbishment and restoration of historic urban parks. The number of parks that received funding in the past three years were: 1999—37; 2000—31; 2001—34. While all were of heritage importance, the information available does not allow their exact designation as Victorian parks. A complete list follows, broken down by year, which shows their location.
