New desert life

摘要

PLANS for the regeneration of part of the former Rufford Colliery site to create hundreds of jobs and much needed leisure facilities, are to be submitted this autumn. UK COAL, which owns the land known locally as The Desert, wants to develop a business park and an off-road motor sports facility on part of the massive site near Mansfield. As well as creating jobs, the scheme could also help solve illegal quad and motor bike activities in the area.
