Option A – Maintain Current Grass Cutting Contract

Leave the field in its current condition with a mosaic of short and long grass to be maintained by the Parish Council in an informal design encouraging biodiversity, wildlife habitat and the natural environment.

 

Option B – Shared Community Space (Trial Period):

The Parish Council will cut the central area  of the field short to a height of approximately 10cm during the summer season and it would be of a suitable standard for community activities. The cut central area will cover an area of 30m x 25m.

Option C: Football Training Use (Trial Period)

Millbrook Football Club will cut and maintain an area of 63m x 53m (to a suitable height for football matches and  training).  This will be used by Millbrook Football Club on Monday evenings (18:30–20:00) and Sunday afternoons (from 14:00–16:00)  for training and youth games from early / mid July until the last week in September.

Request from the Secretary of Millbrook Football Club

“Would there be any appetite to bring back Bogey Park as a second football pitch?  We are looking to expand our current Youth setup and also the possibility of a third men’s team at the Club.  I have attached an image of where the pitch used to be.

  • The football club are happy to cut and maintain Bogey Park, we would do a poo patrol etc prior to every game.
  • Most likely there would be one game a week on there, possibly two and will be mostly Sunday afternoons.
  • Goalposts, nets, corner flags etc all provided by the football club.
  • All we ask is for permission for the Parish Council to let us use the pitch.
  • The pitch would directly benefit players in the village who would be playing on the pitch.
  • We are stacked out at Jenkins at the moment with 2 adult sides and 2x u18s sides.
  • We want to grow the Adult and Youth setup within the Club Bogey Park would enable us to do this.”
