Warwick Street Green

This green plot of Council land at junction of Warwick Rd & Greengate Lane - local residents and community groups have come together to protect this green space - which was until recently up for sale by auction - thankfully the Council have agreed to cancel the sale - but it now in our hands to protect and enhance this land.
