An abandoned former golf course which costs around £70,000 a year to maintain could become home to the largest nature reserve in the West Midlands.

Brandon Wood Golf Course closed to the public in 2020 and Coventry City Council is now discussing plans to turn it into a 64-hectare nature reserve, 6km away from Coventry city centre.

The reserve would link with surrounding land to create over 350 hectares of land dedicated to preserving wildlife, with the potential to support ospreys, otters and beavers.
