Portsmouth City Council have announced the plans for the new country park which is to be developed on the former landfill site to the north west of the M275.

The development is due to start in September 2018 and will be completed in 2020.

The 128 acre site (equivalent to 86 football pitches of land) will include a Queens Diamond Jubilee Wood with 50,000 trees and shrubs, along with grass areas, wild-flower meadows, footpaths, cycle routes, picnic areas and stunning views across Portsmouth Harbour.
