Dori's Gateway Garden

A newly landscaped garden has recently been launched in the parish. Mansfield District Council in partnership with the Warsop Parish Regeneration Agency have turned a piece of wasteland at the tip of Warsop high Street into an area of relaxation and tranquility. The garden also attempts to create a stronger sense of place, by making passing traffic and visitors to the area more aware of the facilities available in the town centre.

The garden has been named after Warsop resident Dori Bonsall, in recognition of her voluntary contributions to the parish. The garden scheme is part of a larger package of town centre improvements and regeneration projects that are being delivered in Warsop. Other projects include:

Building improvement grants and business advice
An art and environmental improvement programme
A town centre development study
A markets initiative
Community transport projects
