SO Lancaster City Council sells off a car park raising £240,000 and, typical of its easy-come easy-go accountancy, blows it immediately on an aquatic park in Happy Mount Park, which no one wants.

Not a thought about spending it on the 1,001 other deserving causes which are crying out for funding. It seems that every few years the council wants to treat us to a fiasco in the Park. It would be cheaper to engage Luciano Pavarotti - and much more fun.
