In 1988, South Somerset District Council promised never to build here. Now they have!
Watchdog tried to draw attention to the way in which the Council has pushed ahead with its plans despite fierce local opposition when the project was first mooted.
NEVER FORGET
Yeovil Town is now left with this ecologically unsound and unattractive building on what was a truly beautiful meadow fit for our Queen. Watchdog believes it is important that the facts are recorded, lessons learned, and hopefully future Council developments will be scrutinized with vigour.
The cost of this building in 2010 was projected to be £353,000.

Cement production creates co2 greenhouse gases
There is unlikely to be any further publicity about the way in which South Somerset District Council misled the general public from day one of the planning of this development. Did you know that the eco-friendly, co2 absorbent materials, specified for the Rangers Centre have been abandoned? Landscaping was promised but look how it’s been left after one year…..
