“YOU KEPT US GOING!!”
Although this is good news and we have for now won the battle to protect the Rec, we mustn’t get too complacent as we haven’t won the war........yet! As there is unfinished business we have to secure the “Fields in Trust” agreement and the approval of the “Town Green Application” which again with the help of the group and the public we will be able too secure and protect the Rec in Perpetuity for all to enjoy

Sadly in Oct last year we lost a much loved and valued member of our team “Jane Druce” Click on link below for Hayley’s words.
The latest news on loss of Learning Skills Council Grant to Yeovil College has been confirmed, forming 75 % of the proposed £60million Campus rebuild for the College, part of which was to fund in joint partnership with SSDC the building of the proposed SZ on the Rec. Which would have provided exclusive areas for College tuition only, restricting public usage, when questioned on this previously by SYR & Opposition Councillors SSDC refused to give any specific details
In late Dec 08 members of SYR met with Don Earley Fields In Trust Dept. Chairman to discuss a way forward with resolving the stalemate with SSDC and the future of the Trusts agreement with the Council on the Rec.
Several months have passed and there has been no meaningful progress for SYR to report between both the parties, alas the stalemate continues.
SYR are deciding what to do next and will keep you informed of any developments
