Woodside Open Space: Options?

The options suggested for Holdingham Woodside Open Space area, at last weeks Strategy meeting, were:



            • Mixed housing: affordable and privately owned!

            • Part Housing and Recreational Complex

            • Wholly rented Allotments

            • Recreational Purposes: all ages and including a small skate park and youth shellter

            • Mix of affordable housing and a small pay area

            • Mix of a Community centre and play area for all age groups

            • Extend Sleaford Wood: in collaboration with the Woodland Trust

            • Do nothing!

            There were several residents at last Wednesdays meeting and District Councillor Peter Haysum also attended. A small working group was set up to look at the issue.

            There are others that I would add but I am always intrigued by the idea of an area that attains a Green Flag award! At least it sets a standard and one that a community can be proud of. Other suggestions have been a running track and tennis courts.
