MCLT needs to guard these neighborhood belongings without end by buying them for the local people.
Some Matlock residents have used the automobile park for over 30 years and had been shocked when Derbyshire County Council blocked off the automobile park and entrances to homes in April this 12 months.
MCLT has had big assist from the individuals of Matlock since we floated the concept of buying the automobile park and subject.
We have been profitable in our bid to have the automobile park designated as an asset of neighborhood worth. Derbyshire Dales District Council has agreed to place it on the record of neighborhood belongings primarily based on the proof introduced to them by MCLT.
This means we now have time to place funding collectively. Having possession would imply that as an alternative of the automobile park and enjoying subject being doubtlessly bought off to builders to build 30 homes, the land could be owned by the neighborhood for perpetuity.
Our concepts for the automobile park and enjoying subject embrace the building of 9 much-needed social housing models, sustaining over 40 parking areas for native residents, allotments, raised beds and a neighborhood orchard.
There would even be picnic benches, a neighborhood lodge and poly tunnel, a wildlife space and pond. If you assist our concepts, why not be a part of us? Membership prices £1. Contact [email protected]
