The Cruck Barn is an imported listed building in an area which attracts many visitors to Dronfield. The owner is currently seeking planning permisssion to convert the building for residential use.

'Inert' recycled aggregate has been used as pathway material in Frith Wood.

 

Residents and Civic Society members argue that this is not suitable as an 'access for all' surface and the material used could caused damage to plant life and streams.
