Council uses 120-year-old law to reclaim Edge Green Common, Golborne

By Joseph Timan, Local Democracy Reporter Edge Green Common, Golborne (Google Maps) MOSSLAND in Golborne could be restored to create a ‘carbon sink’ and a refuge for wildlife as the council uses a law from 1899 to reclaim the common. Edge Green Common, which has no registered or traceable owner, is already home to a range of habitats including acid grassland, woodland and peat bog. As well as capturing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, it serves as a ‘stepping stone’ between other mossland and wetland sites in Wigan, Warrington and Salford for species such as dragonflies and butterflies. The site’s diverse plants and habitats also include some species not seen in any surviving mosslands in Lancashire, Greater Manchester or Merseyside.
