People fear plan for 30 council houses on Sutton recreation ground 'won't work'

People say putting 30 council houses on a Sutton recreation ground "won't work" as concerns are raised about traffic and the loss of green space. One couple say they may even have to move if plans go ahead to build the houses on the Hardwick Lane Recreation Ground.

Ashfield District Council announced plans earlier in the week to build 200 more council houses over the next four years. As part of this, the authority has identified two sites where 47 properties could be situated.

One is a parcel of land at the end of Central Avenue in Kirkby and the other is Hardwick Lane. Some of those living on the latter say they are worried about the plans.
