Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on RSPB Old Moor Wetlands Centre.


RSPB Old Moor Wetlands Centre

The Old Moor project is a flagship for the restoration and regeneration of the Dearne valley and it sounds much like the Sent valley project in my own village, which is part of the wider regeneration of north-west Leicestershire. The key to that very successful project has been community involvement at volunteer level—not at employee or passive visitor level, although that has been useful. It is that volunteer involvement that has built the links. Has it also been crucial at Old Moor?
