Downholland has a very popular, well-maintained park, attracting lots of visitors daily, with something of interest all year round.
We have a large open grassed area, surrounded by an Orchard, a BMX track, Children’s play area, Wildflower Meadow under construction & a Woodland Walk with planting. Spring bulbs are planted in abundance, in the Orchard & pockets around the park.
The Parish Council welcomes bids from experienced contractors who set high standards & pride themselves on the quality of their work & attention to detail.
Downholland Parish Council has received the following information from Lancashire County Council –
We have no further information yet but will endeavour to find out more.
LCC Bridge no. 2196 Mossbridge Station carries C103 Old Moss Lane, Downholland over the disused railway line which is now the Cheshire Lines Cycle Path at grid reference 332934,408363.
The route provides a link between Haskayne, Downholland and Formby. The bridge is owned and maintained National Highways Historic Railways Estates (HRE). A weight restriction of 3tonnes has been in place on the bridge since 1998.
HRE informed Lancashire County Council yesterday that the condition of the bridge has now deteriorated to a state where it is no longer safe to carry traffic and have formally requested that we close the bridge to traffic. The road closure has been initiated this morning and will also include the installation of a signed diversion route. A press release based on this briefing note will be issued later today.

We would like to introduce a Lancashire Talking Community tool through our In The Know messaging system. We have over 45,000 residents in Lancashire who subscribe to the system and Neighbourhood Policing Teams use the system to send police messages to streets, wards or districts. In The Know is supported by Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service and Lancashire County Council.
Lancashire Talking is a community tool and we are inviting residents to answer a few questions to identify their top 5 community issues, so their local Neighbourhood Police Team can prioritise problems in their neighbourhood on the issues that matter most to the local community.
The system can be considered a modern day digital version of our traditional Neighbourhood Watch Schemes and PACT meetings to identifying community concerns, but is more effective as we can involve thousands of residents in setting priorities and we can provide residents with instant updates.
Let us know what matters to you most in your area by answering a few short questions here:
