• Ilmington

  PARISH COUNCIL: At their March meeting, parish councillors, chaired by Cllr Tony Wilkins, were shown draft plans for a possible new pavilion by Mr F J Edmunds, chairman of the Ilmington Playing Field Committee. The chairman said that there had been no mention in the parish plan of the need for a new pavilion, only of extensions and alterations to bring the existing building up to date. Mr Edmunds said that it would probably cost as much to update the existing building as it would to build a new one. The committee had not done a fully costed plan because members wanted to hear the parish council's views before incurring any significant expenditure. County councillor Issy Seccombe suggested that the playing field committee should produce a business plan, and she pointed out that the cost of running a new or extended pavilion could be high. Cllr Rob Hawkins said a proliferation of buildings dotted around the playing field would be undesirable, and he felt that if a new pavilion was built, it should be given to the playing field committee in trust, as had already happened in Ettington. He agreed to take up the matter with the Parish Councils Association. The parish council agreed that the playing field committee should send its outline plans to the district council for advice, and should discuss with the district council the matter of grants for feasibility plans for both the existing and proposed buildings. read more
