Future use of land at Shotwick Park

Cheshire West and Chester Council’s Cabinet will be asked to agree the establishment of woodland and habitat on land at Shotwick Park in Saughall at their meeting on 13th November.

The Cabinet had previously agreed, in 2021, to dispose of the land. However, if approved, the decision to retain the land under Council ownership, and establish a woodland and habitat, would support the Council’s commitment to be a carbon neutral borough by 2045 or earlier, and contribute to the Council’s target of 150 hectares of new tree planting a year, alongside wider community benefits.
