St John's Gardens, Melcombe Regis

Looking back at Jon Orrell’s 2019-2024 term of office [2/4]…

Melcombe Regis Green Councillor Jon Orrell says: “It has been good to see that the permission I gained for the change of use for the precious St John’s Gardens has reaped benefits over the last few years.

“This oasis of green now has a corner used by local groups who engage with people with learning needs. The fruits (and veg) of their labours are wonderful to see.

“We are limited in parkland in Melcombe, but there are opportunities to join others at Tumbledown Farm on the other side of Radipole Lake.

“Activity in the outdoors is good for individual health and exercise, the food grown is nutritious and it’s great for cutting carbon emissions.”
