Unlocking the land
At our heart is approximately 130 acres of public open space managed by the community for the community. A collaboration with the Town Council, Open Newtown’s first five years are supported by the National Lottery Community Fund.
Open Newtown is a community-owned company dedicated to making life better. Helping create rich and diverse wildlife in and around Newtown, we both develop and deliver a range of projects. Some are long-term like the 99-year lease of the town’s urban parks, whereas opening up the spaces to cycling and canoeing are short-term projects with everlasting benefits. Wherever possible, our activities are founded on strong partnerships and foster community cohesion, a sense of place and community spirit. The mission is to help make Newtown open for all.
