Plans for a former golf course on the border of Nottinghamshire top be transformed into a nature reserve have been welcomed. The former Pewit Golf Course site in Ilkeston has been given the green light by Erewash Borough Council to become a new nature reserve.
The new nature reserve is a part of a rewilding project, which will create new habitats for wildlife, helping nature and managing the site so it eventually can thrive by itself.Residents in the Derbyshire town think the plans are a ‘positive’ for the former golf site. 65-year-old Sylvia Morley, has lived in Ilkeston for 40 years, she said: “I think it’s very good, why not. It isn’t being used, during lockdown it diminished.I think it will be good.
As well as this the Manor Floods Local Nature Reserve will also get funding to support biodiversity enhancements. Bev Carter, 61, said “I suppose it would because it’s just going to be left unused. If it’s left as it is a lot of youngins will leave rubbish and go in it. I think it might be good.”
