Masterplan for St Mary's Lands in Warwick gets full council backing

The extensive plans for the sporting and recreational facility at St Mary’s Lands are the outcome of a two-year consultation process with the St Mary’s Lands Working Party, which is made up of the Corps of Drums, Friends of St Mary’s Lands, Golf Centre, Hill Close Gardens, Warwick Racecourse, Racing Club Warwick Football Club, Warwick Town Council, Warwickshire County Council, Warwick District Council and the Warwick Society.

Masterplan proposals for the development have been approved by Warwick District Council’s full council following Executive sign-off in June.

The plan will see improvements to the landscape, enhancement to the frontage of Hill Close Gardens, a cycle link from Hampton Road to Saltisford Brook, improvements to pedestrian access, footpaths and parking, a new play area adjacent to the Forbes estate and modifications to the toilet facilities at the Golf Club and Racing Club Warwick to allow for public access.
