The local campaign group have hailed the decision to protect the green space
A whole estate is in joy after a beloved piece of green space land was officially listed as a protected asset.
Neighbours surrounding what they call 'the Ponderosa' were left outraged, claiming the plan would take away their last bit of green space.Residents were relieved when the plan of eight homes and three apartment blocks of 22 flats was formally withdrawn by the developers in March. Campaigners - The Friends of Borrowdale Park - say the parcel of land is actually a nature spot used by dog walkers, children playing as well as big charity events that have raised thousands for good causes.
A spokesperson from the Friends of Borrowdale Park, said: “To be perfectly honest we were surprised that Rochdale Council agreed to list Borrowdale Park as a community asset. It is to their credit that they have done so and we thank them for this. “We have public liability insurance and experience of running events here and if an events licence were to be applied for, well who knows, Langley's answer to Glastonbury maybe.
