KNUTSFORD Town Council is hoping to hear residents' views on how College Wood can be improved.

On Tuesday, a meeting will be held to gain thoughts from those who visit the woodland area, located in Thorneyholme Drive, and residents living nearby.

In 2019, the council secured the woodlands registration as a 'town green' - a designation which permanently protects the public’s right to use the woodland for recreation.

Cllr Andrew Malloy lives opposite the woodland, which is owned by the Shrewsbury Roman Catholic Diocese, and will chair the meeting on Zoom to discuss how this woodland can be improved, what the community wants to change, and what should stay the same.

The meeting will also be streamed on Facebook where residents can comment along to have their voices heard.

At the end of the meeting there will be an opportunity for people to put themselves forward to form a committee for a new 'Friends of College Wood' community group.

All residents are welcome to join the meeting and there is no obligation to put oneself forward for the committee.

If any residents are unable to attend the meeting but want to comment on how the woodland could be improved, they can email enquiries@knutsfordtowncouncil.gov.uk or call 01565 653929.

The meeting will take place at 7pm on Tuesday, April 20.
