The row over the potential development of Bailey s Field in Darwen escalated last week, when residents living close to Ellison Fold Way set up a Parkland Trust to try and protect the field, which many people use for recreational purposes. Bailey s Field, Darwen The council received an application from Altham-based McDermott Homes back in February, proposing for more than 300 new houses to be built on the field, but after concerns were raised over the dangers of open mineshafts, which had been found on the site, as well as the loss of wildlife habitats, residents nominated Bailey s Field to be listed as an Asset of Community Value (ACV).
