The quiet space will honour late residents of the estate
Plans have been drawn up for a memorial garden to be created on a Doncaster housing estate.
Proposals for the peace garden are under way in Clay Lane, the post war housing estate situated opposite Sandall Park.
Friends of Clay Lane, the group established to improve the estate sandwiched between Wheatley and Edenthorpe, is behind the plans.
A spokesperson said: “About two years ago, we applied to use the land on Jefferson Avenue for a peace garden.
“It's taken this long but they have finally said we can use the land.

“Our original plans were a peace garden with a memorial wall for those we have lost on the estate.”
“Would any one be interested in helping put it together and maintaining it before we commit?”
The group was set up with the aim of helping to revitalise the estate and developmennts in recent years include rain gardens to help prevent flooding, new flower planters at entrances to the estate and a feast of community activites for children.
