THE friends of Ashton Park are still looking for new members.

Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council wants to improve the rundown five-acre area -- but needs residents' help to unlock funding.

Volunteer Frank Hull, 60, of Ashton Road, is trying to organise a working group to look after the park.

He needs volunteers, particularly with children or an interest in wildlife.

Anyone interested should call 01254 761699 before Friday.
