Chieveley - the new Sandleford?, Is there more to this than protecting a fictional rabbit warren? Options

[Simon Kirby]

Sounds like the Sandleford developers were pretty vocal about the country park at the hearing yesterday.

'250 acre country park', 'management to be negotiated'.

I'd rather hear 'ownership to be passed to charitable trust'.

Yes, that's very encouraging.

Have to say, I'd assumed you'd be all for the Newbury Town Council getting hold of it, no? Yes, a charitable trust would be my preference because I'd like to see some Big Society in action - I'd like to see local people actively involved, and I want to be sure that it stays a Country Park for ever.
