enjoy. It was, essentially, a farm field like any other.” “We’ve progressed from humble beginnings to the position we are in now and, for a village of only 1,000, we have some highly successful carbon reduction programmes in place. Our village school received much of the £400,000, which was used to install solar panels, and is now generating a healthy income.” The more that villages in the UK unite in pursuit of their own ambitions to create true community sports and recreational provision, the more that the
persuade them to have another look at this restriction”
