Many of you are asking about the progress of the works. We contacted the council and we got this response from their subcontractor.
"Work on site is now progressing well with the recent good weather. The two pitches at the top of the site on either side of Austwick Lane have had the drains installed, soil cultivated, graded and stone buried, and sand capping layer spread. They now need to be fertilised, seeded, harrowed and rolled.
The two main pitches which were filled are requiring more work due to the compaction that took place during the grading works. These have been levelled and land drains installed. . Additional effort has had to be put into these pitches due to the need to ensure that stones are buried/removed from the surface and this can only be done by going over the same ground repeatedly. It may appear odd that ground that is ‘smoothed’ is then ploughed up again but it is needed to produce a fine enough tilth and seed bed.

Lots of us received during the weekend a letter from our local governors asking support for the Development meeting this Thursday. Apparently there are "fears" that the baseball ring will not find its home in Emerson Valley but somewhere else. Our local governors are concerned that the new Sports Club (i.e. Rugby club) will not be anymore a multisport facility (as it will loose the baseball ring) as well as that some kids (of another community) will loose their football fields.
Did they ever wonder how many residents of Emerson Valley will join the Baseball club? Did they ever think what will happen to our kids now that they lost their playing grounds?
I wonder, is the cash for the Baseball ring vital for the development of the Rugby club?
