Stroud District Council (SDC) continues to support Chalford Parish Council in the investigation at the playing field. SDC has a legal duty under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to investigate potential contaminated land to ensure that it is suitable for use. A decision will be taken under this legislation, however SDC needs to ensure that all information is considered and are currently awaiting clarification on a number of matters.
It is appreciated that this is taking longer than initially expected. However, it is important that decisions are made with all available evidence.
The Parish Council and SDC are committed to sharing the relevant information once it is finalised. In the meantime, as a precautionary measure, the playing field will remain closed.
Thank you for your ongoing cooperation in this matter.
