Top sports stars and governing bodies warn of disaster as government plans could lead to paving over playing fields for new homes. An open letter signed by Jill Scott, Sir Mo Farah, and Alex Yee, along with leaders from major sports bodies, urges the government to reconsider. Sport Englands role in protecting fields is under threat, with a petition to keep its status nearing sixteen thousand signatures.
