Community garden plan for derelict Market Harborough site runs into legal issue

Every town has a few neglected sites. This one in Northampton Road, Market Harborough, had been earmarked by the council for a coach park.

That decision, which was announced in 2018, was a sign of how many visitors we now get. But it was put on hold two years later as Covid bit.

Recently there has been a campaign to turn it into a garden to commemorate the late Queen's platinum jubilee.

But, reports Harborough FM, a legal issue involving the mobile phone mast on the site is holding up any redevelopmen of the site..

So it will remain in this state of agreeable neglect for a while yet.
