Threatened city farm remains open

A farm in Coventry city centre, which needed to raise £21,000 by the end of January to survive, says it is likely to have been saved for three months.

Coventry City Farm, which has been running for 24 years, provides educational facilities in Hillfields.

The farm, which is free to the public and has nearly 40 volunteers, relies on charity donations.

It says it prides itself on making available a piece of rural life in a densely-populated inner city area.
