Town Green off Highworth Road

This 14 acre field, much used by local people for many and varied leisure purposes over more than 20 years, was under threat of being used for housing.
​Thanks to the efforts of Local man, Rob Stuart and team, the field off the Highworth Road known as Humpty Hill was designated as a town green, ensuring continued access by the general public for recreational purposes.

This was a huge project and took more than 2 years.
Over 70 witness statements were collected from local residents.

Following a judgement supporting it as a Town Green an appeal was then heard.
The papers are here
Inspectors 1st report 25/9/2015
Inspectors 2nd Report October 2015
Judicial Review 2016
Rob Stewart voluntarily orchestrated the whole 2+ year project, supported by Eddie Williams, David Butler and Josie Miller.

​Thankyou Rob - this space is still enjoyed by more and more people now that side of Faringdon has 100s more houses.
