Clarkson's Farm mulching robot to help clear Shrewsbury site saved from redevelopment
A heavy-duty mulching 'robot' machine similar to one seen on Jeremy Clarkson's farm is set to get to work in Shrewsbury clearing up a site that was saved from redevelopment.
The land at Greenfields Recreation Ground has been left overgrown for some time since Shrewsbury Town Council bought it back from a developer earlier this year following a planning row.
The town council sold part of the ground to CSE Developments for £550,000 in 2017, despite it being covered by a trust saying it must be kept as a recreation ground.
Planning permission for homes had been wrongly granted and residents in the area took action, taking their fight all the way to the Supreme Court where they won a stunning landmark case.
