No, they want to use it for the local community. They have already started building some sort of family centre on the old school, and on the old playing field they hope to build an area for the local teenagers, so as to give them somewhere to hang out other then outside the shops.

they are replacing the school with a family centre. the one that is currently in warren park road. no thought for the youth of today who could use the field for activities. instead let them stand on street corners causing trouble. set up more youth clubs i think?

I hate to contradict you, but they do hope to build something for the youths that live in and around the Pinehurst area. The family centre is already being built where the old school buildings stood. The field has been leased to the Pinehurst Community Committee. With the help of various youth funds, they are going to build a MUGA (Multi Use Games Area). This is to give the kids somewhere to hang around other then the shops. The rest of the field will be used as a park.
