For the information of the members of the Real Friends of the Rec a summary of B&NES Council's proposals for Firs Field is reproduced below. This is being used as part of the consultation with Combe Down residents. This does show you how things are progressing. Questions and Answers on these proposals prepared by the Council may found here.
Firs Field Proposal.
Background
This note is being sent to all Combe Down residents as a result of the meeting held for residents at the Sulis Club on Friday, 26th June.
The Friends of Firs Field requested Village Green status for Firs Field in February 2009. The Council has advised that the land does not qualify for Village Green status. The principles that support this decision are agreed with the Friends of Firs Field.
However, the Council would like to respond to the Friends of Firs Field's proposal for long term protection of the open space in a positive way that offers a similar level of safeguard alongside resolution of the Recreation Ground issues relating to the Leisure Centre and Bath Rugby.
There is no benefit to the Council in offering this solution unless it resolves the issues on the Recreation Ground.

Questions and Answers prepared by B&NES Council to accompany the summary of proposals for the Firs Field Open Space. This is reproduced for the information of the members of the Real Friends of the Rec.
Firs Field Open Space - Question and Answers.
Q. How did this proposal come about?
A. The ‘Friends of Firs Field' requested in February 2009 that the Council consider Village Green Status for Firs Field. The Friends of Firs Field agree with the Council's legal advice that the area does not meet the criteria for Village Green status. It is intended, however, that this proposal will give equivalent protections to those afforded a Village Green (the purpose of which is to ensure access to open space for outdoor recreations in perpetuity).
