Nick Clegg visited Millhouses Park to see progress on the restoration of our Mill Buildings on Monday 28th January and commented, “I am hugely impressed by the plans and I would urge everyone to get involved, particularly with the efforts to raise the necessary funding. A mill has been on this site for more than 1,000 years. I’m sure that with a little help and support, this exciting project will see the mill remain an asset for the local community for many more years to come.”
