This small community owned park in New Brighton that was originally owned by the water board, who wanted to sell the land for property development. Our local residents raised a petition to save The Gorse in 1999, and supported by the Millennium Trust, we raised £90,000 in less than a year - this little gem has been ours ever since.
Most of the work to maintain The Gorse is accomplished by passionate volunteers, with the aim of encouraging native plants and wildlife to our beloved community garden.
