About Rimrose Valley Friends
Introduction
Since February 2015, Rimrose Valley Friends has existed to promote and improve the wonderful community resource that is Rimrose Valley Country Park. We are the connection between Rimrose Valley, the community and statutory bodies such as Sefton Council and Merseyside Police, and we will foster links with other interested groups such as the Canal & River Trust and the Woodland Trust to name but a few. We will also be applying for and acquiring funding to inject investment into Rimrose Valley to enhance it’s beauty and function to the communities it serves.
As well as planning to bring positive enhancements and investment into Rimrose Valley, we know there are concerns regarding anti-social behaviour which is causing distress to park users and local residents bordering the park, meaning that some people believe that Rimrose Valley is an area to avoid. We are working closely with the community, Merseyside Police and Sefton Council to address these concerns.
We invite anyone who wants to support us to become a Rimrose Valley Friend. Within our first 12 months we grew to around 650 friends. This shows the strength of support we have. We are actively encouraging as many people as possible to become a Rimrose Valley Friend so that Rimrose Valley can be a beautiful and safe place for all visitors and local residents alike.
