We are a group of Oundle residents who are determined to do our best to keep Fletton Field as an accessible green space for local people to enjoy. 

Parks and green spaces are proven to help people stay physically and mentally well; places where we can all move, breathe, run and play. 

Oundle has considerably less freely accessible green space per person than other comparable towns in Northamptonshire – one tenth that of Raunds and one fifth that of Burton Latimer. Losing Fletton Field to development would reduce Oundle’s publicly accessible green space by about 40%, leaving just the recreation ground.

Northamptonshire County Council applied twice for outline planning permission so the site could be sold for financial gain. Both applications were refused. 

Our aim is to persuade the new unitary authority, North Northamptonshire Council, that Fletton Field should not be sold for development, and that our vision for a managed green space for people to enjoy and benefit from should become a reality.
