Leicestershire Golf Clubs Care Home Proposal Rejected: Balancing Care Needs and Green Spaces
Leicester City Council has rejected a proposal for a seventy-two-bed care home on land owned by the Leicestershire Golf Club, located on protected green wedge land. The club, facing financial struggles due to inflation and low reserves, sought to sell a small portion of their land to a care developer to secure the rest of the course. The project promised job creation, economic boost, and easing of hospital bed blocking. However, councilors voted against it, citing concerns about setting a precedent for future builds on green spaces. The club now explores fundraising ideas to save the historic golf club while addressing the urgent need for more care beds.
