MILL STREET AMENITIES AREA
As of 1st October 2008 Mill Street Amenities Area or Mill Street Green as it’s laterally been referred to, has now been officially registered as ‘A Village Green.’ (Area Reference VG64)
This is fantastic news for our local community and all thanks to everyone who took the time to send letters of support, fill out forms and provide photographic evidence to support our application.
To explain what this actually means:- Our small piece of green space at the bottom of Fairfield Place is protected from any future development, even though the land is still owned by Kingston Borough Council and its upkeep is directly their responsibility.
It is possible that the land could be ‘de-registered’ in the future, but this would have to be at the specific order of The Secretary of State, and if this was ever to happen, which is unlikely, then they would have to give us another piece of comparable land in exchange.
So once again, thanks to everyone who supported our application. This is a first for Kingston and the land is now protected for future generations.
