This site is administered by both the Affetside Millennium Green Trust and the Affetside Society he Affetside Millennium Green Trust was the second organised group to form within the Village. It started out it life in 1997 with the formation of a ‘steering group’ to oversee the creation of a Village Green on a dis-used bus turn-around in the centre of the Village T In 1997 it became known that GMPTE were open to offers for the sale of a disused bus turn-around that they had created in the centre of the village in the late 1970’s. The land was adjacent to a large private dwelling that was interested in purchasing the bus turn-around and redeveloping it as tennis courts. Around this time The Countryside Commission had just started their project to form 250 Millennium Greens across the country by the turn of the Millennium and using this funding a group of residents got together to attempt to purchase the land to provide a much needed public area in the Village for residents and visitors to use.
