Garendon Park still remains one of the finest landscaped gardens in the county. But it has declined and badly needs restoration.
That restoration was promised by the Borough Council when they gave planning permission for housing.
Public access was also part of the deal. New residents are already moving in on previous farmland north of the formal Park.
The main road through the estate will run beside the motorway west of Home Wood. So the Park will be protected to a limited extent.
Not surprisingly there are contradictions and many detailed decisions still to be made. These can't be left to the main developers alone. A liaison committee of councillors has ceased to meet and it's time residents, new and old, worked together to ensure their voice is heard. So we are doing just that!

There are many things we can do and much to learn about the new development. So, we are inviting you to signal an interest in one or more of these aspects, according to your preference (also on your Friends Contact Form.
