Improvements to Woodlea Field

In 2001 the Greening for Growth Team secured funding from the Forestry Commission to identify all derelict or formerly derelict land in South East Northumberland. This included Woodlea Field. Followed up in 2002 with a more detailed study of this site, an outline scheme was produced by Northumberland County Council. Greening for Growth has now secured funding to deliver a landscape improvement scheme at the site.

In partnership with Newbiggin Life, Greening for Growth have now established a working group of local people, young residents, councillors and Northumberland County Council staff to work with landscaping consultants to develop the specific detail of the scheme. It is anticipated that the scheme be completed by Spring 2005.
