BIG Meadow in Bidford has again become a place for drug-taking and speeding cars.
Residents told councillors the ground was often littered with Rizla papers and security measures in place did not stop cars from going into the meadow and performing stunts at speed.
Councillor Mark Smith said Big Meadow had gone back to square one and action needed to be taken again, the annual parish meeting heard.
Chairman William Moore thought a more suitable security measure could be a barrier and extra police patrols, which he said had dwindled since the problem first arose two years ago.
District councillor Daren Pemberton also told the meeting that CCTV cameras would be installed in part of High Street by the summer.
But the area around Budgens, the Texaco garage and Memorial Hall will not be covered because no suitable sites were found for the cameras.
District councillor Peter Barnes said none of the larger shops and stores around that section of High Street had supported the CCTV proposal.
Councillor Hedley Langston said the refurbishment of Crawford Memorial Hall had come on leaps and bounds in the last year, with phases one and two, the installation of disabled toilets and a resurfaced car park, now complete.
Cllr Pemberton told parish councillors the third phase of the project, a new ceiling and roof for the building, looks set to receive up to £250,000 in funding from Stratford District Council in the next financial year.
Cllr Moore congratulated the hall committee for ending the year with a deficit of only £145 despite the work that has been carried out.
He ended the meeting by thanking the parish, district and county councillors for working together over the last year.
"I said last year how the three tiers seem to be working very well together and I think that's still the case," he said.
The issue and possible solutions will be discussed further at the next Bidford Parish Council meeting.
