Over the years the village has grown and its needs have changed. The community facilities originally built to serve the local residents have not been updated. The temporary buildings we have on the Anson Field are tired and cramped and the Institute has been costly to maintain and is unsuitable for the activities of present day community groups.

The Anson Trust, which owns the Institute building and the Anson Field in the village, is working on proposals to provide a new community hall and sports pitches. The proposals are still in their very early stages and the Trust will not be in a position to submit a planning application to the Vale of White Horse District Council some time in 2007.
