It has been a busy couple of weeks since the community bid to buy Udney Park playing fields was announced.
Since then it has become increasingly apparent that there is a dearth of space for community sport in the borough.

Before the moratorium period he attempted to sell the site over a twelve-month period and attracted an offer from a single developer called Mr Williams. This bid later evaporated. No doubt Mr Wu hopes for more meaningful interest the next time around.
