A View of The Farm, Arbours

The County Council are already commencing plans to sell Russell House and The Farm on Rickyard Road, Arbours to be redeveloped, probably for housing. Officially they are in a consultation period until 30th September 2011, however plans are already in place to close the site by the end of the year.

The Farm has been used for many years to benefit youth locally and across the county. We believe that it is a resource that should be kept for the benefit of the community.

The facility is owned by Youth Services, and for that reason has been strictly limited in its use to youth related activities only. If the facility was opened up for wider community use, we feel that it would be of great benefit to the local community.
