The valleys of Ruscombe were alive with some 50 people criss-crossing the footpaths - it is two years since Gladwish Land Management bought the three fields in Ruscombe Valley and divided them up into 184 individual house-size plots.The Ruscombe Valley Action Group formed to maintain the fields as agricultural land and we have been active eversince. This was our latest action to highlight the concern over the land deteriorating - how can so many plot owners be responsible to look after the land properly?
Photo of footpaths - you can possibly make out, in the distance, people making their way to the playground in Whiteshill for a picnic - I only caught the walk and the beginning of the picnic as I had family staying but by all accounts we were able to make our point and hopefully get some press coverage.

What are you worried about? This willnever be built on.
I agree it is very unlikely in my view (and the views of many others) that these fields will be developed on - however they said that about Bussage and that was developed on - I think it is important for the community to stay vigilant despite the unlikely development - furthermore there is still an issue about how the land will be maintained by 80 plus owners? And how we can stop this practice happening elsewhere - these two issues are now the focus of the group.
