The fields were originally transferred from Middlezoy Parish Council to Sedgemoor District Council in 1979. After Sedgemoor was dissolved in April 2023, control passed to Somerset Council. Now, Middlezoy Parish Council wants to bring the playing fields and village hall back under local management as part of the council’s broader initiative for devolving services to communities.
