Campaigners involved in a row over land wrongfully sold for £550,000 are calling for a planning permission extension to be delayed.
Greenfields Recreation Fields, where some of the land had been wrongly sold by the council, to developers
In June, following an independent review conducted by Michael Redfern KC, the town council “unreservedly apologised” over the sale, and vowed to try and return the land to the community. Dr Peter Day, who has led the legal challenge, said: “Questions need to be asked. This information needs to be reviewed. The judicial review said it was not possible to come to the conclusion that it wasn’t public land.”
The council is split on the issue. When members voted on whether or not to go to the negotiating table before the Supreme Court date, the vote was tied 4-4, with leader Mr Mosley using his casting vote to delay discussions.
