East Grinstead War Memorial Ltd has recently bought the freehold of the Northern part of Ashplats Wood between Hilary Close and Pegasus Way.
4th East Grinstead Scout Group were given the land several decades ago, but found themselves unable to manage it properly. The transaction was carried out for a nominal value and EGWML will in the first instance be assessing the land before developing a Management Plan for it.
Early actions are expected to involve renewing the entrance gate at Pegasus Way, addressing the issue of flytipping, and clearing paths from fallen trees.
