Park chosen for Netflix drama left in 'dire' state as £15k filming payment unspent, friends group says
04.05.2022 - 17:15 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A listed park that appeared in a Netflix drama has 'fallen into disrepair', residents say - despite the council receiving money to spend on the place. Stamford Park, in Altrincham, Trafford, featured in The English Game, about two 19th Century footballers on opposite sides of a class divide.
The 16-acre site was one of the first public parks to open in England in 1880 and has Grade II-listed status. The Friends of Stamford Park - an independent group which works with Trafford council and its service provider Amey to maintain and improve it - say 'it is now not fit for purpose having fallen into disrepair', blaming 'cuts in council funding'.
They say there are 'lots of gaps around the playground, meaning children could go out to the road next to it in seconds'; paths need resurfacing; swings removed during the pandemic haven't been replaced; and that it is generally in 'a dire state'.
In 2019, the council received £15,000 payment for the Netflix drama, starring lead actors Edward Holcroft and Kevin Guthrie, to spend on the park, but years later, it's still sitting in council coffers.
The Friends say they have struggled to get hold of anyone at the council to discuss it, 'making it almost impossible to come up with a plan'.
"Netflix chose the park due to its heritage status and the money was supposed to be spent on the park," said Dia Barrett, of the Friends group.
"The council are yet to hand over any of this money. Stamford Park deserves much better. It should be a well-loved focal point for the communities of Hale and Altrincham."
In 2021, Dia set up a petition demanding the council bring the park up to an acceptable standard. It was signed by more than 500 residents.
Dia, mum to Leo, six, and four-year-old Luca, said
