Are there any persons on this site who could clarify the following for me:

I was given to understand that it was the local campaigners - Diane Thomas and Co, who raised the issue of the Children's Park in Kew and gained much publicity for her cause. I also understood that because of other issues relating to this campaigner, that the council had already agreed to allow £30,000 funding towards the total costs of bringing the park up to standard. So how can Labour councillor's claim any success in raising this £30,000?
