Whats going on at Alleyns school field?

[djw]

My house backs on to Alleyns school field and over the last couple of weeks they have dug up pretty much all of there playing field with some quite heavy machinery. As far as I am aware this is without warning as I have just moved into the house and no building work on the field was indicated by my surveys. Does anyone know what's going on????

Apparently they are relaying the sports field so that they can in future be able to accommodate the 1st X! for football and cricket. The new building encroaches quite massively on those pitches, you see. That's all. It definitely isnt any new buildings apart from the theatre. The NYT are getting a rehearsal room they can use as part of the building. The NYT's founder used to teach english at Alleyns. he left in 1958 to start the NYT. Michael Croft is his name.

There is already a thread on this on Page 2
