This area behind Magna Park and the Mere Lane has been converted in to a country park area. A lot of new habitat has been created, still very new. The lake area has a path all around it so will be disturbed quite a bit, but other area, like the rough fields, which have currently been left and tree planting/hedges has been done in places.
Compered to the intense arable fields which were here there will be greater wildlife variety, and if maintained in a similar way, despite the area lost to warehousing it may proof beneficial overall.
