A listed park that appeared in a Netflix drama has 'fallen into disrepair', residents say - despite the council receiving money to spend on the place. Stamford Park, in Altrincham, Trafford, featured in The English Game, about two 19th Century footballers on opposite sides of a class divide.
The 16-acre site was one of the first public parks to open in England in 1880 and has Grade II-listed status. The Friends of Stamford Park - an independent group which works with Trafford council and its service provider Amey to maintain and improve it - say 'it is now not fit for purpose having fallen into disrepair', blaming 'cuts in council funding'.
