King George V Memorial Playing Fields Update
17 Jan 2017

The following update relates to the condition of the area located to the South of the stream, at the bottom of the King George V Memorial Playing Fields.

The ground was originally excavated to allow for the construction of a large water main to supply the Sherford development.

Although the water main has been filled, further works are required to ensure the area is safe, particularly when high levels of water flow during periods of bad weather.

The below provides an outline of the works required:

1. Significant repair works are needed to the stream to stop further erosion of its banks and the playing field. This will be carried out using rocks from the surrounding area.

2. The construction of a large headwall is needed to discharge a surface water drain which flows beneath the playing field.

3. A substantial landscaping programme is to take place both on the stream and the surrounding area. This will include removing and replacing the dead or damaged trees and hedges, as well as the construction of a Devon bank.

4. The construction of a new footpath and cycleway, joining from Vinery Lane, which will run parallel to the stream. As soon as these works are completed, the bottom of the field will be reinstated. Regular updates will be provided as the work progresses.
