WHAT a generous council we have got at Preston.
They have no money to give for a park attendant at Waverley Park, to look after the bowling greens, but they can give Preston North End £7,500 - '£200,000 over the past ten years'.
We are only a few pensioners who like a game of bowls.
But sometimes we can't get on the bowling greens because they are occupied by football teams.
This happens even when all five football pitches on the park are empty.
So it's a big 'thank you' to the council, for nothing.
