Wildlife

Open space and parks for recreation will be created at Yours South Lynn, a key feature for ensuring residents can balance their busy lives by relaxing and enjoying peaceful and natural surroundings.

Proposals include dredging the River Nar to bring back to life an area of underused river for fishing and riverside walks. A central park will be planted with semi mature trees.
