Lancaster city walking route being turned into small nature reserve for residents to enjoy

Lancaster City Council said that thanks to funding via local developments, an area between the A6 Scotforth Road and the railway bridge at Uggle Lane in Scotforth, will be turned into a

small nature reserve with a renewed accessible path and a new bench for residents to sit and enjoy the space.

Work on the footpath, land owned by Lancaster City Council, is expected to be completed by the end of May.

The project has been made possible through developer contributions, also known as 'S106 contributions', paid to mitigate the impact of new development.

A newly formed Friend's Group will oversee and help protect the area for the benefit of local residents.
