Improving Recreational Spaces in Weedon Bec

WEEDON BEC JUBILEE RECREATION FIELD USE SURVEY

This survey is aimed at assisting the Parish Council in creating a plan to develop the recreational spaces within Weedon Bec.

Question Title

* 2. Below is a list of suggestions that residents have already made of things that could be included on Jubilee Field. Please let us know what you think of them. In Question 3 you will have a chance to add your own suggestions.
Note: Jubilee Field is flood plain for the river so any building can only take place between the Fireman's flats and where the Mound was. Also, the field is classed as a SHARED PUBLIC OPEN SPACE so it is not possible to fence areas off. Anything requiring netting is too expensive to maintain and the Parish Council cannot afford to pay for a park keeper/groundsman.
