The Mere at Ellesmere Heritage Project

Shropshire County Council and Ellesmere Town Council plan to make significant improvements to The Mere at Ellesmere during 2008 - 09.

• the Boathouse Restaurant building will be restored and an extension will include an exhibition, information about the park and new public toilets. The agreed plan is attached to this page.
• the 19th century designed landscape will be enhanced by opening up historic views and avenues and planting specimen trees.
• access throughout the park will be improved, including car parks, footpaths and links to Ellesmere town.
• more people will be encouraged to use the park by providing more events and opportunities for recreation.
• the project will also provide the opportunity to increase community involvement and volunteering.
