New village green at Low Hill
A twenty three year campaign has been waged to protect the large traffic island, Showell Circus, in the heart of this pre-war estate of council housing from development. Following a recent planning application from a retail outlet the traffic island has now been awarded village green status. It is believed that this is the first traffic island in the country to be awarded such status.
The qualification criteria and protection to village greens were amended by Section 15 of the Commons Act 2006. Once registered, it is protected from encroachment and development by section 12 of the Inclosure Act 1845 and section 29 of the Commons Act 1876. Local people have a right to enjoy the land for recreation.
