Charity Activities
The Trustees of Lytchett Minster Turbary Allotment Trust (TT) and Town Councillors of Lytchett Minster and Upton Town Council (LMUTC) agreed 7 year lease for the Recreation Ground in May 2024. Discussions have now recommenced to start to work on establishing a longer-term lease for the Town Council. In discussions with the Trustees of LMU Recreation Ground Trust, it has been agreed at present it would not be of public benefit to add the LMU Recreation Ground Trust as leaseholders of the Upton Recreation Ground in the longer-term lease.
