Councillors support greenbelt project as loan deadline looms

The Knaresborough group.

A community group rallying to raise funds to pay off a loan, used to buy 60 acres of greenbelt land to safeguard it from future development, has received a welcome boost.

“We encourage people to become shareholders to gain ownership of the land and join our wonderful community, but people who don’t want to buy shares, which start at £50, can donate any amount they wish.”

For anyone wishing to donate and keep Knaresborough Forest Park in the hands of the community, more information is available here.
