In the November issue of ‘Focus’, Edlesborough Parish Council (EPC) indicated that it was investigating the provision of a purpose designed kick wall, which would be located somewhere appropriate on Edlesborough Green. Having taken account of the space required, existing football and cricket pitches, access for Carnival vehicles, proximity of roads, houses and other matters, we believe that there are three possible locations. These are shown in red in the aerial photograph below:

An example of a typical kick wall (sometimes known as "goal ends", or multi-use games areas), is shown below. They come in various sizes and styles, are robust, heavy duty, and hard wearing, provide plenty of play value for various games, such as football, basketball, hockey, cricket, and general kick abouts. EPC is currently considering a version about 6m long x 3m high, without a basketball net (as we already have one elsewhere on the Green), and with a grass tiled surface about 6m wide x 15 – 20m long in front.
