The Parish of Doynton has given its overwhelming support to the establishment of a Community Orchard and Wildflower Meadow in the area of Summers Field. Sandy Higgins (937 2612) has kindly agreed to take the chair
Many thanks to all who have worked very hard to get the project to this point. The assistance and continued support of the community will be key in ensuring success. To that end, volunteers to assist and support the venture are always welcome.
Summers Field
The underpinning principles of the project are as follows: 
- Must provide outdoor recreational space (from the Parish Plan)
- No permanent structures (from SGC direction)
- Must enhance the existing landscape and local distinctiveness in keeping with its position within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
- Developed in such a way as to encourage the practical support and ownership of the community in its establishment and longer-term maintenance
- Include short-term goals that meet the immediate aspirations of the community, whilst maintaining a focus on the longer-term benefits of such a venture
- Promote biodiversity in accordance with the National Biodiversity Plan (2007)
- Demonstrate value for money against any grants or investment used in its establishment and subsequent maintenance
Guidelines for use of the field can be found here.
