School Field Open to the Public
Ugborough Parish residents have a playing field again! Many thanks to the efforts of our Parish Councillors, South Hams District Council, County Councillor Dan Thomas, Ugborough School, Westcountry Schools Trust and the Ugborough playing field users group.

Thanks to WeST and funding from South Hams District Council, a new fence and gates that meet safeguarding requirements have been installed.
Under the new arrangement the field is protected with a combination code padlock, which will be replaced with a key pad over time.
To get access to the field, Ugborough residents should download the form on this website and send to the parish clerk, confirming you have read and agree to these terms, stating any other household residents you will be taking responsibility for when they use the field.
Only one person per household needs to sign the agreement but everyone will need to have read the terms and conditions. You’ll also need to send a phone number which will be used to add you to a playing field users WhatsApp group where the code will be shared. Anyone found to be violating the terms of the agreement will be removed from the group and the code will be changed.
For this arrangement to work it’s critical that we all respect the terms of the agreement, leaving the field ready to be used by the school children the next day. No one should be given access who is not explicitly listed in the agreement. Please also respect the neighbours and keep noise levels at a reasonable level, especially in the evenings.
Thanks to everyone for all their hard work to make this happen. Looking forward to seeing you up there for a throw, kick or run around soon!
