This Wednesday 10th April at 7pm, Stephen Hill Methodist Church is hosting a sit-down meeting to talk about the people who use Carver Fields, and care about it now, and in the future.
The Sheffield Methodist Circuit needs to be able to answer some questions about Carver Fields, what it does and what it can do for the future.
They want to be able to have an honest and open conversation about the future of the site within the realms of Methodism, what it needs to be able to do and what it will cost to do it- both in time, financially and in resources. All who use the site, live next to it, walk on it, chat on it, or play games on it, are welcome to attend the meeting and express their views.
The meeting will conclude with hopefully a feeling of what the future could be, who will be involved in it and how it may be able to generate some income to support the site.
This will then be written up as a proposal for the Sheffield Methodist Circuit leadership team.
Engaging the community in an open dialogue about the future of this local site is a commendable approach. It ensures that the site evolves in a way that is inclusive and reflective of the community’s needs and values. Discussing the practical aspects such as time, financial investment and resource allocation is crucial to planning successful. Encouraging users to share their views can lead to a well-rounded vision for its future, and could help foster a sense of ownership and community spirit.

I was unable to attend the meeting last night re Calver Fields. Being a long term resident living in Crosspool from 1969, growing up I can distinctly remember this issue being raised before. Could have been in 1970s , early 1980s . It was going to be sold for house building and a very similar debate went on at that time the conclusion being no building materialised. Hopefully someone will come forward and have a clearer memory of these events.
