If a resident fronting the strip does not want a garden, it can be be offered to the adjoining neighbour

Residents in a Pendle village are asking if council-owned land with a flood drainage system behind their houses can be cultivated as gardens.

Now, the plot of land which some Church Street residents are interested in includes an earth bank 'bund' and water interceptor drainage system, completed in 2021. Then in early October, a Pendle Council engineering manager and a surveyor from Liberata, a contracting firm which provides land and property services to the council, inspected the land to see if could be used as individual gardens or a communal garden?

Options now include offering strips of land in-line with the houses, under individual garden tenancies. Residents could fence the land off and plant it up, or another option is to allow gardens but without fencing. Residents could only use plants.
