Work Begins on the Great Field

Martin Graham and Richard Biggs at the site of what will become Dorchester’s largest park.
“Work on the first phase of the Great Field started last month,” said Martin. “By early next year there will be a sports field here that will provide a cricket pitch in the summer and two junior football pitches for the rest of the year. This will be followed by a ball wall and basketball hoop on a tarmaced area for allweather use.”
“Later phases of the park will mostly be informal with paths for pedestrians and cyclists linking new Poundbury to the rest of the town; although we would also like to see more facilities for young people here,” added Richard.
