This one is a bit strange

Phillips Fields are not in Southwater per se. They are across the other side of the dual carriageway in Newfoundout (still in Southwater parish)

There are only a couple of houses that can see the pitches through the trees and they are in the diagonal opposite corner to the proposed changing rooms. There are another 3/4 houses near the gates to PF which are probably 750 yeards down a lane from the fields. Given that the objections seemed to number circa 15, it would mean that every house in the vicinity has objected. I would imagine that the average S/W resident does not care - in fact proabably the oposite as some will have kids in the footy team.

Just goes to demonstrate what a handful of NIMBY's and a few lily livered councillors can do to a credible, fully funded, community benefiting plan. As someone ponted out, we have been there and it does not auger well for the HFC plans

Edited to say I have not spoken to anyone from the club yet, but it would be good to get there perspective in case it is useful to HFC
