TORRIDGE District Council is inviting people from Winkleigh and surrounding villages to contribute to emerging ideas on the future of Winkleigh Airfield. As a result of research and public consultation last year, a set of possible options for the site has now been developed. The options will be exhibited at Winkleigh Community Centre on Saturday, April 25 from 10am to 5pm. Representatives from Torridge and the design team will be on hand to answer questions. The focus of the development options is to encourage an innovative approach to rural employment that will be sustainable and well designed. They also include proposals for restoring the landscape and improving public access to the site. The council wants feedback at this stage in the process to identify a preferred option and the Site Development Brief that will guide future development of this important site.
