Braintree District Council took ownership of a piece of land between Rose Hill and the Lakes Road Industrial Park (What3words location: ///assure.each.canny), following the housing built in the area. The site used to be part of the railway and has been left to become overgrown.
Work to build the new Rose Hill park public open space has now been completed.
The space includes:
- Play equipment for children up to 8 years old
- Meadow turfed area
- Looped ‘woodland walk’ path
- And seating
