32 acres of recreation land is being created for West Moors.

East Dorset Council's bought Woolslope Farm, just north of the A31, with money paid by housing developers whenever they build a property near a heathland Site of Special Scientific Interest in the district.

Work on the site will start shortly - with a footpath being installed - while benches, picnic areas and even allotments could be added later if the public want them.
