A live shooting session will be undertaken at Francis Plain on Saturday, 16April, and Monday, 18 April 2022, from 6.30am to 8am. The purpose of this live shooting session is to try and cull some of the rabbit activity on Francis Plain playing field which greatly impacts the surface of the field, and any remedial work carried out.
