Fields in Trust Status: could Holdingham benefit?

Post Note: At least it is now in the open and has hit the local newspaper. It is slightly ironic that suddenly County Councillors and the local MP are against spoiling the landscape with Wind Farms but seem mute on damage to the appearance of the place when it comes to Sleaford and immedite surroundings. Anyway we will see how this develops.
-----------------------------------------------------

It looks as though a visit by Fields in Trust is on the cards! This hopefully will help explain things and reassure Councillors on issues that have arisen. Todays Sleaford Standard covers the story so at last things are out in the open.


With the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations upon us it seems an appropriate time to look at one aspect of the celebrations that might impact on Sleaford. For this Blog I refer to Holdingham in particular. I am referring to the Queen Elizabeth II Fields Challenge  , and Fields in Trust, which may (or may not) be a good way to protect our open spaces and play areas. Lincoln Road and Woodside are our main areas that fit the bill but others may arise in the future as the area develops.
 I have covered the topic on  Sleafordchat but other open spaces within Sleaford should be looked at.
