PROJECT TITLE: The Eden Street Project

LOCATION: Oldham

FUNDING: Awarded £15,000 in Round Three of the Greater Manchester Green Spaces Fund

The idea

We wish to develop a small area of poorly utilised land, which lies adjacent to our community centre. We envisage the area to provide an attractive, green biodiverse space for residents living in the surrounding flats and for all groups, which use the centre. The land is currently overgrown, and its development would not only enhance the area aesthetically but provide an opportunity for the community to socially interact whilst becoming physically and mentally active in the outdoors. The local community have already been consulted and have expressed an interest in becoming involved in the project.
