Our registered Town Green is protected by legislation.

At some time since registration, OCC has dug up the green outside St Mary's C of E Infants School & built a car park for staff at the school. That, I believe, caused harm to the town green which would likely be an offence under section 29 of the Commons Act 1876, unless the change was authorised by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Did OCC obtain such consent from the Secretary of State prior to digging up our town green & tarmacking over it?

If not, will you please reinstate the town green to it's former condition & ask your staff to park elsewhere.
