Hi,
Ive recently started voluntary work at the Heaton Park Tramway and the Sponsor A Foot Appeal has been launched, please read the following.
In order to relieve the operating burden of our valuable historic tramcars and to provide sufficient suitable vehicles to operate any future extensions, the MTMS has acquired a number of tramcars. These, along with other trams from the Greater Manchester area are currently in storage in various locations. All of these vehicles ultimately need to move to Heaton Park, some will have to move by the end of 2011.
In order to do this, we need to put up additional covered depot accommodation in which to house them. As a result we are currently in discussions with a number of parties including Manchester City Council as to the location of this initial structure which will be capable of housing 3 Blackpool trams and 2 4-wheel trams.
We have now set an initial figure of at least £20,000 for the project which we hope to complete in 2011. Therefore the 'sponsor a foot' appeal is now online. You can sponsor a square foot of depot for just £10! Each sponsor receives a certificate and their name on the 'foot chart' There is no limit to how many square feet you can sponsor - any surplus funds will be used for moving trams and go towards the next phase.
