I THANK R Bainbridge, from Crook, for the kind reference to our “stunning” Jubilee Park at Spennymoor (HAS, Oct 7).

Howebver, I would like to respectfully highlight that Jubilee Park is caringly managed by Spennymoor Town Council, and not Durham County Council as stated in the letter.

It is, as suggested, an excellent facility which was given to the people of Spennymoor by Queen Victoria to mark her Jubilee.

I am pleased that it is enjoyed by both residents of Spennymoor and people from the wider community.

Cllr Ian Geldard, Spennymoor Town Council
