A derelict part of Longridge Recreation Ground is to become a ‘wellness and community garden’ after the town council secured the lease of the plot.

Councillor Robert Walker, who is the town’s deputy mayor and also runs Longridge Men’s Shed, said a community consultation would take place to get ideas for the future of the plot.
