Evendons Area Residents Association
Community Meeting Tonight - Friday 22nd July 2022
As you would have seen on the recent Leaflet to residents, we have a community event tonight at 7:00 pm, starting at the Tanners Row entrance to Viking Field. Please come along and support the Save our Balgrove Countryside Campaign.
It will be a chance to speak with the EARA team. The press will be in attendance, and we want as many people as possible at 7:00 pm to show their support and be in a group photo. For those that want, there will follow a walk from Viking Field to Leslie Sears, Blagrove and Doles Lanes to look at the area that would be built over. There are some spectacular views on the route, and we will share snippets of local history along the way. We will then end at the Leathern Bottel pub. Everyone is welcome to join us!
Below is a What 3 Words location for the start of the Walk.

About EARA
In 2013, the residents of Evendons Lane and the surrounding area gathered as a Residents Association to try to maintain the local environment and help ensure that any development on land surrounding Leslie Sears and Viking field was appropriate. Several planning applications were successfully blocked.
