Give us more recreational space

During the lockdown, construction workers and heavy vehicles have continued their work of turning our recreational playing field into a car park. The company renting the recreational playing field from the town council paid mitigation money for being given the right to turn it into a car park and to make up for the loss of the recreational space and the town council voted to give the money to the football club and the rugby club. Both are about a mile away and I doubt if any of the residents living close to the playing field and using the playing field have any connection with the rugby club or football club. Why did the council not consult local residents and ask them how the money should be spent? Please provide more recreational space on the north western side of Bodmin.
