My son came home from school all excited about the new synthetic turf they’re laying for the hockey ground, but I couldn’t help thinking—the old mud field was where the groundskeeper’s son first learned to dribble. Now they’ll put up fences and a proper gate, and I wonder if the boys from the market lane will still find a way in. The corporates and the committee call it ‘development,’ but who is it really for?
