Land was bequeathed to the people of reading for Leisure use, NOT educational use. Save our green open spaces!
It is essential we protect our charitable trusts and Mapledurham Playing Fields are highly used and valued by the local community and across Reading for sport and recreation.
I very much agree with the strong feelings expressed by John Heaps. The community should show respect to such a noble gift. We have an ageing populaton and a time for giving and many are thinking of whom to leave their money and estates to. What message do you give to those wanting today to leave a legacy to the community, if those legacies of the past are now shown as breakable?
The wishes of Charles Hewett in gifting Mapledurham Playing Fields to the local community must be respected in spirit and letter. It is a disgrace that this site is even included as an option.
playing fields are extremely important especially in urban areas. They allow people of all ages, to play sports, walk, jog and generally meet for events in the fresh air in a safe and healthy environment. Once built upon they can never be re-instated.

We lived in Mapledurham vicarage during the war and my father used to walk across the fields to Reading station to get to London. We were taken to the park . My father also did some Home Guard training there. It was given for recreation and sport and should remain for that purpose only.
