Ludlow Town Council Launches Public Consultation on Proposed Community Orchard in Weyman Road

Ludlow Town Council is inviting residents to take part in a public consultation starting Tuesday 20th May (running until Tuesday 17th June) to gather opinions on the creation of a community orchard on open amenity space in Weyman Road, to be maintained by Ludlow Town Council.

This exciting initiative, developed in partnership with Incredibe Edible Ludlow 21, aims to transform the green space into a vibrant orchard that not only boosts local biodiversity, but also offers a peaceful, nature-filled walkway for residents and visitors to enjoy.

The proposed orchard would include a variety of fruit trees and pollinator-friendly planting, helping to support wildlife and encourage sustainable local food growing.

The project is designed to enhance the natural beauty of the area while providing a welcoming, tranquil space for walking, relaxing, and connecting with nature.

The Council is encouraging everyone in Ludlow – especially those living near Weyman Road – to share their thoughts during the consultation period by completing this short survey. Feedback will help shape the final design and determine how best the space can serve the community.
