See the Parish Council’s previous post here: https://boughtonparishcouncil.co.uk/news/residents-request-access-from-buckton-fields-to-fairmile-is-re-instated 

At the Parish Council meeting on 15th September 2025, the Council resolved:-

  • to write to the WNC Planning Officer noting that the Parish Council are aware of an independent online petition which currently has 210 signatures to reinstate the access. The Parish Council support the notion, if the access is made safe. Please can WNC advise of the next steps.

Representatives from Boughton Parish Council, Kingsthorpe Parish Council, Bloor Homes and WNC Planning met on 9th October to discuss the issue.

Boughton Parish Council understand concerns of anti-social behaviour around the cut through were raised. This resulted in WNC’s “Designing out Crime Officer” undertaking a site survey and subsequently the fence was erected by Bloor Homes.

Both Parish Councils are aware that residents wish for the access to be reinstated but careful consideration is required to resolve the matter given the previous concerns.

WNC have agreed to provide further information about the reports of anti-social behaviour and to enquire if the Designing Out Crime Officer has any further comments on how to safely re-open the access.

It is hoped this information will be available for the next Parish Council meeting on 20th October, 7pm at the Village Hall.
