Plans for new space in Wyndham Park, Grantham, for dogs to be off lead and encourage biodiversity
A new proposed park space could mean dogs can be let off leads, as well as encourage biodiversity.
South Kesteven District Council has today (Tuesday, February 4) launched a consultation, seeking views on a new biodiversity site in Wyndham Park, Grantham.
The site, if approved, would cover 4,025 sqm of parkland, with just under half being meadowland, alongside pathways, some tree planting and 260m of fencing.
It would be on the east side of the park, next to Sandon Road, and would be fenced so dogs could be let off leads.
Deputy leader of the council and cabinet member for leisure and culture Paul Stokes (Ind) said: “South Kesteven District Council is committed to reducing carbon emission and is working hard to ensure our area is well adapted to the demands of a changing climate.
“We want to encourage biodiversity wherever and whenever we can and would also like to be able to provide an area where dogs can be exercised either on or off the lead safely and securely.
“An amenity which has been requested by those visiting the park.”
The consultation closes on Tuesday, February 18.
