Moss Side, South Ribble
Suburb in Leyland, Lancashire, UK
Moss Side is a suburban, semi-rural community on the western side of Leyland, Lancashire, in the borough of South Ribble, England.[1] The suburb is growing. It is adjacent to Bretherton, Ulnes Walton and Midge Hall.
There is a Scouts group in the area and a concert party who perform for senior citizens. There are bowling and running groups in the community as well.
There were plans to build a new Redrow apartment development, but local residents fought a determined campaign to oppose this and planning permission was ultimately refused in December 2005.
A new ball court and a children's playground were completed in 2005 and a better community is coming together overall.
Moss Side has seen an increase in community involvement in recent years. This has delivered benefits such as the Moss Side Community Newsletter, a Moss Side football team and the new 'Your Moss Side' website.
