Seems
odd
to
review
playing
fields,
but
this
location
is
great
for
people
taking
their
dog
for
a
walk.
It
is
fairly
enclosed,
although
the
top
end
has
no
fencing
along
Hewett
Avenue,
and
the
car
park
is
open
to
the
entrance
road
(as
you
would
expect).
There
are
4
or
5
football
pitches,
and
also
smaller
training
areas.
The
pitches
are
often
used
when
other
local
pitches
have
been
flooded,
although
the
whole
area
can
get
quite
muddy.
The
pavillion
is
a
complete
mess
which
needs
some
major
work.
There
is
an
enclosed
playing
area
with
climbing
frame/zip
wire/swings
etc.
Also
a
small
wooded
area
in
which
it
is
fairly
safe
to
let
your
dog
run
through,
as
I
believe
all
the
houses
have
good
fencing.
Be
it
a
good
thing,
or
a
bad
thing,
there
are
plans
to
build
a
school
on
the
grounds.
***This
is
the
reason
for
the
pavilion
being
in
such
a
bad
state/closed,
as
the
council
have
refused
for
the
planned
renovation
to
take
place
until
the
plans
for
the
school
are
known.
If
it
goes
ahead,
there
will
be
huge
disruption
draining
the
vast
majority
of
any
funds
promised,
just
to
provide
the
existing
facilities
(on
the
reduced
area,
sadly
cutting
down
the
iconic
Poplar
trees).
I
can
only
hope
that
the
community
will
still
be
able
to
roam
across
the
playing
fields,
although
we
will
certainly
lose
access
to
a
large
area
including
the
main
football
pitch,
and
the
proposed
all-weather
area
(that
is
of
no
use
to
the
football
club
due
to
specification)
I
have
major
concerns
about
safety,
access,
reduced
parking
and
increased
traffic.
