An application has been submitted to B&NES Council by one of our members for a Village Green to be registered under the Commons Act 2006 - Section 15(1) on the Newbridge Meadows.
The land concerned is “that land predominantly to the northeast of Newbridge Park and Ride and known as Newbridge Meadows in Newbridge Bath.”
Notices have been posted at 10 sites at least adjoining the land with a Map attached showing clearly the area required to be registered.
The object of submitting this application is to preserve the Meadows for this and future generations to use for lawful pastimes such as dog walking, nature observations and the study and enjoyment of the environment.
It has been used for these purposes since 1940 and almost certainly before that date to the present time.
As you know there are very few suitable areas adjoining the city for dog walking and such like activities and, we need to preserve them.
If the application is successful, then the land would be preserved as now for ever more.
We hope that you will support this application by writing letters of support as soon as possible addressed to Mr Graeme Stark of Bath and North East Somerset Council, Riverside, Temple Street, Keynsham, BA31 1LA.
Your letters are really important to add weight to the application and result in success.
Any objections to this proposal must be sent to the Council on or before 19 July 2010.
