In the idyllic village of Inkberrow, Worcestershire - the inspiration for the radio soap drama The Archers - residents are growing increasingly frustrated with the noise and disruption caused by their local football club.


Inkberrow FC, which runs around 30 teams, has applied for planning permission to expand their facilities. However, many locals argue that the expansion would ruin the tranquility of the village as well as cause further traffic problems and as such have objected to the plans.
