Focus

The Newfound Sports Ground is an important facility for local clubs, teams, and everyday use. Oakley & Deane Parish Council are working to improve it so it better supports everyone who uses it – now and in the long term. A key part of this is resolving the long-running parish council compound matter so that changes on the wider site can move forward. I’m supporting this work.

What’s next

  • Working with Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council (BDBC) to bring the long-running parish council matter about the compound to a decision
  • Developing a detailed plan for improvements

How to get involved

  • If you’re part of a sports club, volunteer group, or regular user, tell us what you need from the site
  • Share what’s working well and what isn’t (photos and specific locations help)
  • Offer to be involved in shaping the plan as it develops
