Starting in 2012, the vision for Ford Airfield has been long in the making. The process began in reaction to Ford having suffered for many years as a result of ad-hoc and disjoined development, which lacked both key infrastructure and a village ‘heart’.
In the years since, Ford Parish Council and the Ford Community Land Trust have taken the lead in setting out a vision for the area that reflects the thoughts and feelings of local people with a real interest in the community.
