Residents want to retain natural land for play

A community effort is underway in suburban Douglas to protect a small area of natural land.

'Manor Woods' - behind Scooil Vallajeelt in Saddlestone - is used by local children as a place to play as well as a shortcut through the estates.

With the agreement of the landowners nearby residents are meeting at 1pm this Sunday (11 July) to tidy the area - with plans to maintain it in the long-term.

The group is inviting anyone who'd like to help to come along - Beach Buddies volunteers are also taking part.

Former politician David Cretney is part of the initiative:
