Who are we?

The Farnsfield Preservation Group (FPG) was established in August 2026 to coordinate residents concerns about the proposed 140-home development on Southwell Road.

The group now has a core team of members and has launched a resident survey to gather views on the proposal. FPG also runs an active Facebook page and has recently launched this website

For residents who do not use social media or the internet, updates will be shared through The Farnie, helping ensure that the wider community can stay informed and have an opportunity to contribute

Our Vision
