The Green Corridor

In January 2023 Wellington Town Council took over the management of an 64 acre area of land known as the Green Corridor on a 150 year lease from Somerset West and Taunton Council.

The area of land stretches from Fox’s Field at Tonedale Mill through to The Basins and then over to Rockwell Green and Hilly Head and, when the railway crossing is open, links in to the field off Linden Hill that the Town Council purchased in 2022 which then links the land to Westford bringing the total land area of the Green Corridor to 66 acres.  Working with partners our aim is to ensure that the land remains available for public use and that it is used it to promote recreation, healthy lifestyles, local food growing and the development of arts and cultural spaces.  We will ensure that the land is maintained and developed in a way that promotes biodiversity and improves wildlife habitats.

THE GREEN CORRIDOR ADVISORY BOARD

The Green Corridor Advisory Board is a steering group consisting of Town Councillors and representatives of interested Community Groups. The Board meets monthly to discuss the ongoing development and delivery of the management plan for the land.
