Combe Martin Parish Council, Hollands Park Football Club and the Devon Air Ambulance Trust (DAAT) have been working together to get the football pitch to become a designated landing site for the DAA in times of emergency. A fundraising appeal is underway to try and raise at least £3,111.09 (ex VAT) to go with a grant of £3,442.37 (ex VAT) to flood light the pitch, the lights would be operated off-site and even by the pilots themselves as they get closer.
Councillor Doug Seymour is heading up the charity fundraiser and can be contacted on the details listed below
There is an information pack available through Doug from the DAAT.
