A councillor has said news that a golf course will not be included in plans to create more natural green spaces is a “win for residents”.
Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council announced three sites – Erlin Farm, Millhams Mead and Solent Meads – had been earmarked to help improve access to nature.
There were fears Solent Meads Golf Course could be closed, with a petition to save it gaining more than 8,000 signatures.
East Southbourne and Tuckton councillor Bernadette Nanovo said it was “part of our community, and people want it to stay”.
