RESIDENTS of Croft are to be consulted on the future off the village playing field.
Croft Parish Council has decided to call a public meeting after receiving a request from the National Playing Fields Association to rename the field the Queen Elizabeth II Playing Field to make Jubilee Year, the Olympics and the Paralympics.
The field is currently owned by the parish council and the change would involve creating a charitable trust, of which the council would be part, to administer the field.
It would also involve consulting the Playing Fields Association on any future proposals, changes, etc., for the field.
Cllr Les Hoyle said: “Some members of the parish council feel that as the field belongs to the people of Croft, they should be consulted.
“The change would protect the field as a playing field for future generations, but it would also mean the parish council would lose some control, in that they would have to consult the Playing Fields’ Association about any proposals for the field.
“We need to know what the people of Croft think.”
A date for the public meeting will be announced as soon as possible.
