THE GORSE MILLENNIUM GREEN TRUST
The Gorse is a piece of land adjacent to the Water Tower in New Brighton originally owned by North West Water. In 1995 they declared the land surplus to requirements and put it up for sale for building.
Local community members set up the Save the Gorse campaign and, over a period of 5 years we collected money, applied for funding and negotiated with North West Water – now United Utilities – to purchase the land for the New Brighton community and to develop it as a pocket Park.
We became a charity – reg no 1071166 – with 7 trustees who maintain the Park on behalf of the community. The Trust has a membership with a small membership fee amongst the community. This helps to cover general running costs.
With the help of Groundwork Wirral the Gorse was developed as a park and opened to the public in May 2000.
Groups of volunteers keep the Gorse tidy and each year we raise funds to have a professional horticultural tidy up in the spring.
The Trustees are holding their Annual General Meeting this year on Saturday 9th June at 11 am at Vale House Café. All are welcome.
