New wild flower meadow

A new wild flower meadow has been planted near us.  This used to be farmland and the council have now taken it over.  Using it as a wild flower meadow for us to all enjoy seems like a wonderful idea but the council,has plans to turn it into a football field in due course.   That woud be a shame as we need fields like this for the wildlife and also so we can have some fields in this area that are not football fields.  Sometimes I think councils lose sight of the fact that not everyone has children and not everyone wants to play football!

This morning Rod, Lucy and I walked around an adjoining corn field which we think the council also now own.  It will be interesting to see what happens to that over time.  Guesses anyone?
