The Udney Park Community Fields Foundation (Registered Charity Number 1195005)

The Udney Park Community Fields Foundation has been set up with the purpose of acquiring the Udney Park Playing Fields and guaranteeing them as playing fields for community sport in perpetuity.

The Foundation will form an operating committee. The appointees of the operating committee will be chosen based upon the skillset of the individuals and with the aim of diverse representation.

This group will be highly energetic and motivated volunteers aiming to ensure that the fields and the pavilion are professionally run. Inclusivity will be a core principle.

The operating committee will work closely with schools and community clubs to encourage and support accessible and affordable sports, leisure and cultural activities, and in so doing contribute to the health and well-being of local people.

The Udney Park Community Fields Foundation is an entirely different entity from the UPPF Trust. The trustees of the Udney Park Community Foundation have no direct involvement with the UPPF Trust. The UPPF Trust was set up by local residents to oppose the development of Udney Park by Quantum. The trustees of the Udney Park Community Fields Foundation are not responsible for any views expressed by the UPPF Trust and are concentrated on the purchase of the Udney Park for use as playing fields and operating them going forward.

Political momentum for a CPO growing

The Udney Park Trust have released a ‘press release’ updating everyone on the momentum gathering for a CPO of the fields at Udney Park. Local hustings were held as a prelude to this week’s general election and the Trust raised a question regarding the future of the site. It was confirmed at the hustings that there was universal support for a CPO from all parties.

Pavilion Building allowed to fall apart

Posted on 7th Jun 2024

The tragedy of the War Memorial Pavilion has been revealed by arial photos taken by residents. These reveal that under the ownership of Mr Wu the building has fallen into such disrepair as to render future renovation work hugely expensive. The project had been to bring the changing rooms back into early use for the community clubs playing on these fields. There were relatively new boilers and heating systems installed just before Imperial College sold the site. The building interior had been dry – even if the changing rooms needed to be brought up to modern standards.

Alternative bid submitted for Udney Park playing fields.

It is hugely disappointing to report that Udney park is now under offer from another group of investors headed up by local resident, Keith Williams.

Udney Park is an Asset of Community Value, defined in the Localism Act (2011) as "Land is an asset of community value if its main use is to further the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community." The Localism Act states that ‘social interests’ include cultural, recreational and sporting interests
