IN a shock disappointment for Rother, the Heritage Lottery Board has rejected the authority's bid for grant aid towards the £1.5m Egerton Park refurbishment project.

More than two years' of planning and consultation plus 44,500 worth of project work-up grant aid from the lottery board has gone into a project which at consultation stage received overwhelming public support.
