Latest bulletin
WHVG Committee have used our barrister to challenge the Inspector's decision to give Taylor Wimpey part of the village green at Byron Ave, Borehamwood, depriving residents of easy access to a beautiful open green belt space that they have enjoyed 'as of right 'in living memory. The request is for a Judicial Review : not procedure but content eg not considering t residents wishes, not taking proper account of the loss of biodiversity.
The inspector's decision must be communicated to us by 11th July.
If we are successful in getting a Judicial review our case must be ready by 11th August.
Taylor Wimpey have a long pocket so we need to build funds.
A leaflet will be circulated stating that we need to build a fighting fund of £30,000 It is in the process of being finalised.
We need funds and help with delivering leaflets
Please give generously or in the future the site at Byron will be huge housing estate.

Woodcock Hill Village Green is under threat again! Taylor Wimpey is looking to steal Village Green land to build yet more houses in an already densely packed area. The lower meadow along Byron Ave and Vale Ave has been identified by Taylor Wimpey for de-registration.
Taylor Wimpey has submitted an application to the Secretary of State for the De-registration and Exchange of village green land at Woodcock Hill, Borehamwood with adjoining landowners.
We need local people to ACT NOW!
