Illingworth Fields

East Keswick Parish Council supports the purchase of the almost two acres of land immediately behind the Village Hall. this will protect the outstanding vista from the Village Hall terrace which is one if its attractions as venue. It also helps protect the eastern flank of the village from development.

The Parish Council led the negotiations for the purchase of this land until stepping aside at the request of the Village Hall trustees in August to allow them to handle the bidding and purchase.

We’re delighted to have influenced over £35k in grants and donations through our support of applications. All this has been achieved at a time of unprecedented demand on our limited resources such as the takeover of the Sports Association, and without any effect on the precept.
