An
application made to Oxfordshire County Council
to
have the Thrupp and Bullfield Lakes and
land
immediately around registered as a ‘Town Green’
under
the Commons Registration Act 1965 has been
accepted
as “duly made” by the County Council
Under
this act, if local people have used an area
for
recreation 'as of right' for at least twenty years, it
can
be registered as a town or village green. That
protects
it from development.
Oxfordshire
County Council have notified us that a Public Enquiry will be held
in Radley Village Hall on 2nd to 5th April 2007
A meeting
in Hadland Road on the 9th February was packed to capacity with
some people unable to get in. Residents and Supporters donated
money for the legal fund and have pledged support in other ways.
A further
meeting at Hadland Road on the 23rd February brought together
all those who had volunteered to help with a variety of events and
fundraising initiatives.
Town
Green Public Enquiry Date Set
Oxfordshire County Council have published the notice calling the
public enquiry. The enquiry is open to the public
and anyone may speak. If you wish to speak, you may approach
the clerk at the hearing on the day it opens and ask to do so.
Evidence will be given by people who are already part of the sequence
of events which led to this enquiry.
