Royal name for Village Green?

From the previous posting, readers will be aware that the Newbridge Meadows have now been granted ‘Village Green’ status.

For those interested, the action taken following this ruling may be found in the Commons Register.

We again thank all those who have supported us in our endeavours to bring about this situation, thereby securing continued use of the Meadows for lawful sports and pastimes.

As reported in the previous posting, a request has been submitted to B&NES Council for the Meadows to be re-named ‘Queen Elizabeth II Fields’ in order to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, marking 60 years on the throne in 2012.

Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, the Queen’s grandson, is Patron of the scheme for the ‘Queen Elizabeth II Fields’ and, we have been advised that our request has been placed before the Council’s Cabinet for consideration.

We will, of course, keep you advised as this matter proceeds.
