No Homes Conversion

WORTHING Rugby Club has kicked into touch any thoughts developers might have of buying its extensive playing fields site at Angmering for house building.

Club president Charles Boughton-Leigh has denied claims made at a public meeting two weeks ago that the club had sold its land at Roundstone Lane to developers.

The rugby fields are just across Roundstone Lane from the new Bramley Green estate, where 600 homes are set to be built.

And as the under-construction Angmering bypass runs alongside the rugby club site, speculation has been rife in Angmering that the next large-scale development would be on the pitches.

Mention of further housing, on the playing fields, was made at a public meeting called by Angmering Parish Council over the controversial issue of providing school places for the new Bramley Green homes.
