Ashby de la Zouch's Bath Grounds park area has been bought for £620,000 by the council to secure its future as a green space. The site had been earmarked for housing 10 years ago but Ashby Town Council plans to protect it and develop a nearby hotel it has also bought from previous owners Oaklands Hotels.
Council leader Chris Smith said the aim was to "preserve it for the rest of the community in the years ahead".The council also bought a nearby hotel as part of the purchase, which it plans to develop"We love the Bath Grounds - I have my dog walk there two or three times a day," the 60-year-old said.
"Green spaces like that in towns are very, very valuable - it's good for the economy, it helps attract people into the town, [and] there are lots of events that go on in there."
