This article is new enough and plenty long enough. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. I am proposing ALT 2 as being rather hookier. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:02, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
- ALT2 ... that before the foundation of Roy Wilkins Park in 1976, the site was described as being wasteland with 18 "rat-infested" buildings and "a leaking swimming pool full of dead dogs"?
