Brent
Council Executive has agreed to declare Masons Field a local nature reserve.
Situated at the bottom of Larkspur Close, the old London Transport Sports
ground was partly developed for Housing in the 1990`s. The remaining land was
to be used as open space. and leased to Brent Council.
Mason’s Field has been assessed as being an important site for
nature conservation by the London Wildlife Trust and it will now form part of
the Fryent Country Park.
With
Heritage Lottery funding and some Sect 106 money it is proposed to improve
access, plant hedgerows and restore field habitat. Sign boards will be situated
around the area to inform visitors about the site. It will also contribute
towards the objectives of Brent’s Green Charter. Nature
England has welcomed the proposals and improvements.
Cllr Ruth
Moher, Deputy Leader of Brent Council and Fryent Councillor said:
“We are delighted with this
decision and the opportunity this gives for continued enjoyment and recreation
and education in Fryent. I would also like to thank the Barn Hill conservation
group volunteers for their help in undertaking a lot of the site survey work.”
