A contract for filling in the huge hole is currently out to tender. Wooburn and Bourne End Parish Council clerk Malcolm Silver said whichever company is chosen to carry out the work will make the field “useable” again. Cllr Tim Bingham said it should be made clear to Bucks Council that they want the ownership returned to them once the work is completed in case they decide to keep it. Mr Silver said: “It is us that maintains it and looks after it. The council is going to get it fixed but it won’t be cheap. “Residents have said they are prepared to contribute to the costs, and if we are prepared to contribute and Bucks is prepared to contribute, we are close to getting it secured.
