Ardleigh Parish Council have been given the opportunity to purchase an area of open space, currently in private ownership and being used as allotments. The Parish would like to apply for S106 money towards the purchase of this land. As part of the purchase agreement they have committed to maintaining the land for public amenity and it is designated at a Local Protected Green Space (via the Neighbourhood Plan). Part of the land would be used for an extension to the current cemetery which adjoins the existing cemetery which is nearly out of space. The remainder will be retained for growing vegetables.
