Mary Datchelor Playing Fields

A significant budget allowance will be invested in drainage upgrades. A Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) will hold and slowly release flood water, mimicking natural water flow, protecting pitches and reducing flood risks.​

 

We are looking at options for grey water recycling (reusing non-drinking water) for irrigation and other uses to bring the site closer to water neutrality.​

 

Our aim is to make the playing fields usable all year round without impacting the natural drainage system that exists on the fields where water gathers in the North West part of the site.

​​

This will allow students and the community to enjoy the facilities all year round.
