The council says it will turn the land which housed Rosehill Community Farm into a 'community asset'
Manchester council says it is committed to creating a 'community asset' after a court order granted it possession of land which had been turned into a community farm.
Following the case, a council spokesperson said: "The council has been granted possession of the former Rosehill Community Farm site and the intention will be to ensure that it is brought back into constructive use. The community farm had received cash grants totalling £23,430 from the council during the period from 2011 to 2014. It had also been granted nearly £300,000 of funding from the National Lottery Community Fund to develop the site and provide training and skills opportunities. A further grant of £474 was provided by the High Sheriff’s Police Trust Fund.
