Hut Land Questionnaire
The village owns a strip of land adjacent to the railway bridge on Hartwell Road, which has been unused or many years. In a public meeting held by the Parish Council on the 15 June, there were many suggestion regarding the future use of this land.
We will be sending a questionnaire to every household asking for your views on this very important matter. We ask that you complete the form within the following 2-3 days so that it can be collected. This will allow us to better understand the views of the village.

Hut Land Questionnaire Survey -
The questionnaires were delivered to a total of 142 households in Ashton. Of these 78
households completed and returned their forms to us. As we received over a 50%
response to the questionnaire, it shows the strength of feeling held by the village of over
this matter.
|
●
|
Most people ( 62.8% ) did not want the land to be sold, 29.5% did and 6.4% were not sure.
|
|
●
|
If the land was sold then most people ( 61.5% ) did not want the money invested in a new village hall, as most suggested that the village had the use of the Church ( Knights’ Hall ), the Rugby club, school or Old Crown for events.
|
|
●
|
If the land was sold, the most popular option was to spend it on a new playground ( 50% ) followed by helping the Elderly of the village ( 39.7% ).
|
|
●
|
If the land was not sold, the majority suggested that it should be used for allotments or Orchard ( 52.6% ), followed by a ‘Pocket Park’.
|
|
●
|
Asked if they were prepared to help with the maintenance of the land, 44 households responded with a firm yes or ‘maybe’.
|
We hope that the current ‘Hut Land’ charity trustees, along with Ashton Parish Council
take into account the response to this Questionnaire survey of the village when making
their decision regarding the future of the ‘Hut Land’.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the current Hut Land trustees who have
spent time and effort looking after the Hut Land charity over many years for the village.
A report and full analysis of the data has been provided to the Trustees and the Parish
Council, and will also be made available to those who are interested. Thank you to all
those who took part.

Hut Land - The Old Crown Letter of Support
Overall a concerted and focused effort on getting people informed about a potentially
great benefit to the village as a whole is, in our opinion, the best way to proceed.
As a demonstration of helping where we can, we are prepared to provide those who
help for a few hours on the Hut land, a bowl of soup and a roll for lunch in the pub free
of charge. We look forward with great relish to the prospect of getting something decent
done for the whole village.
